Pore-forming compounds as signal transduction elements for highly sensitive biosensing.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pore-forming compounds are attracting much attention due to the signal transduction ability for the development of highly sensitive biosensing. In this review, we describe an overview of the recent advances made by our group in the design of molecular sensing interfaces of spherical and planar lipid bilayers and natural bilayers. The potential uses of pore-forming compounds, such as gramicidin and MCM-41, in lipid bilayers and natural glutamate receptor channels in biomembrane are presented.

Biosensing Based on Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy by Using Metal Nanoparticles
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising tool in the analytical science because it provides good selectivity and sensitivity without the labeling process required by fluorescence detection. This technique consists of locating the target analyte on nanometer range of roughed Au-nanoparticles. The presence of the metal nanoparticles provides a tremendous enhancement to the result...
متن کاملMetabolic and thermal stimuli control K2P2.1 (TREK-1) through modular sensory and gating domains
K(2P)2.1 (TREK-1) is a polymodal two-pore domain leak potassium channel that responds to external pH, GPCR-mediated phosphorylation signals, and temperature through the action of distinct sensors within the channel. How the various intracellular and extracellular sensory elements control channel function remains unresolved. Here, we show that the K(2P)2.1 (TREK-1) intracellular C-terminal tail ...
متن کاملCa channel moving tail: link between Ca-induced inactivation and Ca signal transduction
Ca-induced inactivation is an important property of L-type voltage-gated Ca channels. However, the underlying mechanisms are not yet understood well. There is general agreement that calmodulin (CaM) binds, in a Ca-dependent manner, to C-terminal motifs LA and IQ of the pore-forming a1C-subunit and acts as a sensor that conveys Ca-induced inactivation. New data indicate that both Ca-induced inac...
متن کاملLocalized surface plasmon resonance immunoassay and verification using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
This work exploits the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy of noble metal nanoparticles to achieve sensitive and selective detection of biological analytes. Noble metal nanoparticles exhibit an LSPR that is strongly dependent on their size, shape, material, and the local dielectric environment. The LSPR is also responsible for the intense signals observed in surface-enhanced...
متن کاملMotion-driven sensing and biosensing using electrochemically propelled nanomotors.
Electrochemically-propelled nanomotors offer considerable promise for developing new and novel bioanalytical and biosensing strategies based on the direct isolation of target biomolecules or changes in their movement in the presence of target analytes. For example, receptor-functionalized nanomotors offer direct and rapid target isolation from raw biological samples without preparatory and wash...
