Development of a range of fluorescent reagentless biosensors for ATP, based on malonyl-coenzyme A synthetase
The range of ATP concentrations that can be measured with a fluorescent reagentless biosensor for ATP has been increased by modulating its affinity for this analyte. The ATP biosensor is an adduct of two tetramethylrhodamines with MatB from Rhodopseudomonas palustris. Mutations were introduced into the binding site to modify ATP binding affinity, while aiming to maintain the concomitant fluores...
متن کاملReagentless biosensors based on self-deposited redox polyelectrolyte-oxidoreductases architectures.
Reagentless fructose and alcohol biosensors have been produced with a versatile enzyme immobilisation technique which mimics natural interactions and flexibility of living systems. The electrode architecture is built up on electrostatic interactions by the sequential adsorption of redox polyelectrolytes and redox enzymes giving rise to the efficient transformation of substrate fluxes into elect...
متن کاملExpanding the chemistry of fluorescent protein biosensors through genetic incorporation of unnatural amino acids.
Fluorescent proteins are essential tools in biological research, ranging from the study of individual biological components to the interrogation of complex cellular systems. Fluorescent protein derived biosensors are increasingly applied to the study of biological molecules and events in living cells. The present review focuses on a specific class of fluorescent protein biosensors in which a ge...
متن کاملEquilibrium and dynamic design principles for binding molecules engineered for reagentless biosensors.
Reagentless biosensors rely on the interaction of a binding partner and its target to generate a change in fluorescent signal using an environment-sensitive fluorophore or Förster resonance energy transfer. Binding affinity can exert a significant influence on both the equilibrium and the dynamic response characteristics of such a biosensor. We here develop a kinetic model for the dynamic perfo...
متن کاملDesign and optimization of genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors: GTPase biosensors.
This chapter details the design and optimization of biosensors based on a design used successfully to study nucleotide loading of small GTPase proteins in living cells. This design can be generalized to study many other protein activities, using a single, genetically encoded chain incorporating the protein to be studied, an "affinity reagent" which binds only to the activated form of the target...
