Abstract

We designed a new electroactive peptide probe that has a molecular recognition function for the sensing of a protein. Ovalbumin (OVA) was the model protein, and when RNRCKGTDVQAW interacted with OVA, it conjugated with a tyrosine-rich peptide (Y4C). This peptide is electroactive, has a high degree of biocompatibility, and offers the possibility of gene expression. To measure the effect of a number of the tyrosine residues, voltammetric measurements were conducted using a series of tyrosine-rich peptides (YnC, n = 3-7) with sensitivities that ranged from 10(-9) to 10(-8) M. The electrode response of Y5C was the maximum value in the series. However, the peak current did not increase when the number of tyrosine residues was increased in a linear fashion. This may have been due to the micelles that are formed by a tyrosine-rich surfactant peptide. Thus, Y4C was suitable as an electroactive label for the construction of the peptide probe. The electrode response of Y4CRNRCKGTDVQAW obtained by a glassy carbon electrode was 100-fold that of tyrosine alone. The measurement of OVA via the peptide probe resulted in a detection on the order of 10(-12) M. In contrast, the sensitivity of OVA using RCKGTDVQAWY4C probe was at the 10(-11) M lev...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
