Claim:
1. A direct single cancer cell detecting device comprising: an electrode comprising a substrate of gold; a self-assembling membrane comprising a polymer matrix comprised of an electrically conductive copolymer; wherein the copolymer is further comprised of: one or more first β-cyclodextrin molecules having at least one or more imidazolium groups; one or more polyethylene glycol polymers (PEG); and one or more poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP) polymers; wherein the self-assembling membrane has a nanobiomimetic surface structure comprising an array of nanopores, and the membrane also has active sites, and the nanopores are vertically oriented on the substrate, and wherein the device promotes an electron-relay network with imidazolium-ATP of single cancer cell-water-pyridine at its active sites of the membrane that mimic the electron-relaying between His 516 and N(5)-FAD of GO
