Nanochannel-based electrochemical assay for transglutaminase activity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel electrochemical assay to quantify transglutaminase activity is reported. The assay is based on the enzyme-controlled diffusion of Fe(CN)6(3-/4-) through amino-functionalized nanochannels of a mesoporous silica thin film on a Au surface in the presence of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-glutaminylglycine.

Insights into the "free state" enzyme reaction kinetics in nanoconfinement.
The investigation of enzyme reaction kinetics in nanoconfined spaces mimicking the conditions in living systems is of great significance. Here, a nanofluidics chip integrated with an electrochemical detector has been designed for studying "free state" enzyme reaction kinetics in nanoconfinement. The nanofluidics chip is fabricated using the UV-ablation technique developed in our group. The enzy...
متن کاملNanoparticle based enhancement of electrochemical DNA hybridization signal using nanoporous electrodes.
A novel nanoparticle-based enhanced methodology for the detection of ssDNA using nanoporous alumina filter membranes, containing pores of 200 nm in diameter, is reported. The blockage of the pores due to the hybridization is detected by measuring the decrease in the differential pulse voltammetric response of the [Fe(CN)(6)](4-/3-) redox indicator and using screen-printed carbon electrodes as t...
متن کاملSelf-organized cobalt fluoride nanochannel layers used as a pseudocapacitor material.
Aligned CoF2 nanochannel layers have been formed by self-ordering electrochemical anodization. In voltammograms these layers provide multiple oxidation states, an almost ideal rectangular pseudocapacitive behavior, a high specific capacitance and good capacitance retention. These layers may thus be promising for supercapacitor applications.
متن کاملNanofluidic Electrochemical Transient Spectroscopy
We introduce Nanofluidic Transient Spectroscopy as an electrochemical technique by utilizing potential-dependent adsorption of redox-active molecules on electrodes. Our approach is based on nanofluidic thin-layer cells, which consist of Pt electrodes embedded in opposing walls of a nanofluidic channel separated by a distance of 50 nm. Due to the high surface-to-volume ratio of the femtoliter-si...
متن کاملTransglutaminases in Crohn's disease.
Transglutaminases are a family of Ca-dependent enzymes involved in various biological events. Circulating transglutaminase (factor XIIIa) is decreased in blood of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. There is evidence that factor XIIIa and tissue type transglutaminase, present in cell cytosol, bind to various proteins of the extracellular matrix. This study examined the value of serum tra...
