Erfkamp, Jan published the artcileEnzyme-functionalized piezoresistive hydrogel biosensors for the detection of urea, Formula: C2H6N2O, the main research area is urea enzyme piezoresistive hydrogel biosensor; alkaline pH conditions; biosensor; hydrogel-based sensor; pH value; piezoresistive pressure sensor; stimuli-responsive hydrogel; urea; urea sensor; urease.

Urea is used in a wide variety of industrial applications such as the production of fertilizers. Furthermore, urea as a metabolic product is an important indicator in biomedical diagnostics. For these applications, reliable urea sensors are essential. In this work, we present a novel hydrogel-based biosensor for the detection of urea. The hydrolysis of urea by the enzyme urease leads to an alk. pH change, which is detected with a pH-sensitive poly(acrylic acid-co-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) hydrogel. For this purpose, the enzyme is phys. entrapped during polymerization This enzyme-hydrogel system shows a large sensitivity in the range from 1 mmol/L up to 20 mmol/L urea with a high long-term stability over at least eight weeks. Furthermore, this urea-sensitive hydrogel is highly selective to urea in comparison to similar species like thiourea or N-methylurea. For sensory applications, the swelling pressure of this hydrogel system is transformed via a piezoresistive pressure sensor into a measurable output voltage. In this way, the basic principle of hydrogel-based piezoresistive urea biosensors was demonstrated.

Xiao, Sa published the artcileAn efficient biosensor based on the synergistic catalysis of Helicobacter pylori urease b subunit and nanoplatinum for urease inhibitors screening and antagonistic mechanism analyzing, Application In Synthesis of 598-50-5, the main research area is urease nanoplatinum biosensor Helicobacter infection.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the main non-genetic factor leading to gastric cancer. Due to the important role of urease produced by H. pylori in its initial colonization, survival, and infection, the activity inhibition of urease has been proven to be a promising therapeutic strategy for H. pylori infection. Therefore, the screening of effective urease inhibitors has become an important direction for the development of new therapeutic drugs. In this study, a novel biosensor for rapid screening of H. pylori urease inhibitors was constructed based on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified by heterologously expressed H. pylori 26695 urease b subunit (HPUb), Pt nanoparticles, and nanoporous gold (NPG). Five inhibitors were successfully screened for HPUb using the proposed biosensor (HPUb/Pt/NPG/GCE). The inhibition constants calculated according to the established math. model indicated that the inhibitory intensity order of these inhibitors was methylurea > acetamide > formamide > acetohydroxamic acid > hydroxyurea. Combining the inhibition constant of urease inhibitors with the mol. binding mechanism of the urease inhibitor and HPUb, it can be inferred that the non-polar long-chain modification of one of the primary amino groups based on the mol. structure of urea is a promising direction for the development of high-efficiency urease inhibitors. The elucidation of this mechanism will provide a theor. foundation and new ideas for the design of competitive urease inhibitors based on urea structure and the development of new anti H. pylori drugs.

Alfinito, Eleonora published the artcileHuman olfactory receptor 17-40 as an active part of a nanobiosensor: a microscopic investigation of its electrical properties, Safety of 2-Methyl-3-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)propionaldehyde, the main research area is human olfactory receptor nanobiosensor elec resistance impedance spectrum.

Increasing attention has recently been devoted to protein-based nanobiosensors. The main reason is the huge number of possible technol. applications, ranging from drug detection to early cancer diagnosis. Their operating model is based on protein activation and the corresponding conformational change due to the capture of an external mol., the so-called ligand. Recent measurements, performed with different techniques on the human 17-40 olfactory receptor, revealed a very narrow window of response in respect to the odor concentration This is a crucial point for understanding whether the use of this olfactory receptor as a sensitive part of a nanobiosensor is a good choice. In this paper we investigate the topol. and elec. properties of the human olfactory receptor 17-40 with the objective of providing a microscopic interpretation of available experiments To this purpose, we model the protein by means of a graph that is able to capture the mean features of the 3D backbone structure. The graph is then associated with an equivalent impedance network, able to evaluate the impedance spectra of the olfactory receptor in its native and activated state. We assume a topol. origin of the different protein elec. responses to different ligand concentrations: In this perspective all the exptl. data are collected and interpreted satisfactorily within a unified scheme, also useful for application to other proteins.

Alfinito, Eleonora published the artcileSmell Nanobiosensors: Hybrid systems based on the electrical response to odorant capture.Theory And Experiment, Application In Synthesis of 1205-17-0, the main research area is olfactory receptor 17 GPCR rhodopsin nanobiosensor odorant elec impedance.

Mammalian olfactory system is the bio-archetype of smell sensor devices. It is based on a very articulated mechanism which translate the odorant capture information performed by the olfactory receptors (ORs) into a code. Finally, the code is sent to the brain for aroma recognition. Our aim is to partially mimic this system to produce a biosensor on nanometric scale. The active part of the device is constituted of nanosomes containing specific ORs. Each nanosome is interfaced with nanoelectrodes and the odorant capture is converted into an elec. signal. Specifically, the elec. response is correlated with the conformational change that a single OR undergoes when it captures a specific odorant mol. An array of nanodevices should be able to produce specific response profiles. In this paper we present a possible theor. framework in which the exptl. results should be embedded. It consists of the description of the protein in terms of an impedance network able to simulate the elec. characteristics associated with the protein topol. (c) 2009 American Institute of Physics.

Minic, Jasmina published the artcileFunctional expression of olfactory receptors in yeast and development of a bioassay for odorant screening, HPLC of Formula: 1205-17-0, the main research area is olfactory receptor yeast biosensor odorant screening.

The functional expression of olfactory receptors (ORs) is a primary requirement to examine the mol. mechanisms of odorant perception and coding. Functional expression of the rat I7 OR and its trafficking to the plasma membrane was achieved under optimized exptl. conditions in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The membrane expression of the receptor was shown by Western blotting and immunolocalization methods. Moreover, we took advantage of the functional similarities between signal transduction cascades of G protein-coupled receptor in mammalian cells and the pheromone response pathway in yeast to develop a novel biosensor for odorant screening using luciferase as a functional reporter. Yeasts were engineered to coexpress I7 OR and mammalian Gα subunit, to compensate for the lack of endogenous Gpa1 subunit, so that stimulation of the receptor by its ligands activates a MAP kinase signaling pathway and induces luciferase synthesis. The sensitivity of the bioassay was significantly enhanced using mammalian Golf compared to the Gα15 subunit, resulting in dose-dependent responses of the system. The biosensor was probed with an array of odorants to demonstrate that the yeast-borne I7 OR retains its specificity and selectivity towards ligands. The results are confirmed by functional expression and bioluminescence response of human OR17-40 to its specific ligand, helional. Based on these findings, the bioassay using the luciferase reporter should be amenable to simple, rapid and inexpensive odorant screening of hundreds of ORs to provide insight into olfactory coding mechanisms.

Arendowski, Adrian published the artcileScreening of urinary renal cancer metabolic biomarkers with gold nanoparticles-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, Computed Properties of 104-01-8, the main research area is gold nanoparticle metabolic biomarker laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry.

Renal cell carcinoma is a very aggressive and often fatal disease for which there are no specific biomarkers found to date. The purpose of this work was to find features that differentiate urine metabolic profiles of healthy people and cancer patients. Laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry on gold nanostructures-based techniques were used for the metabolic anal. of urine of 50 patients with kidney cancer. Comparison with data from 50 healthy volunteers led to the discovery of several compounds that may be considered potential renal cell carcinoma (RCC) biomarkers. Statistical anal. of data allowed for the discovery of m/z values that had the greatest impact on group differentiation. A database search enabled the assignment of signals for the most promising 15 features among them: serine, heptanol, 3-methyleneindolenine, 2-methyl-3-hydroxy-5-formylpyridine-4-carboxylate, phosphodimethylethanolamine, 4-methoxyphenylacetic acid, N-acetylglutamine, 3,5-dihydroxyphenylvaleric acid, hydroxyhexanoylglycine, valyl-leucine, leucyl-histidine, oleamide, 9,12,13-trihydroxyoctadecenoic acid, stearidonyl carnitine and squalene. Differences of metabolite profiles of human urine could be identified by gold nanoparticle-enhanced target (AuNPET) LDI MS method and used for the detection of renal cancer.

Barbosa-Pereira, Letricia published the artcileAssessment of volatile fingerprint by HS-SPME/GC-qMS and E-nose for the classification of cocoa bean shells using chemometrics, SDS of cas: 21834-92-4, the main research area is Theobroma shell volatile fingerprint headspace SPME GC mass spectrometry; Chemical markers; Cocoa bean shell; Cocoa by-product; Cocoa flavour; E-nose; HS-SMPE/GC-qMS; Principal component analysis; Volatile fingerprint.

The cocoa bean shell (CBS) is a main byproduct of cocoa processing, with great potential to be used as an ingredient for functional foods because of its nutritional and flavor properties. This study aimed to characterize and classify CBSs obtained from cocoa beans of diverse cultivars and collected in different geog. origins through their volatile profile assessed using headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-qMS) and E-nose combined with principal component anal. (PCA). The study provides, for the first time in a representative set of samples, a comprehensive fingerprint and semi-quant. data for >100 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as aldehydes, ketones, pyrazines, alcs., and acids. Through PCA, a clear separation of the Criollo cultivar from the other cultivars was achieved with both GC-qMS and E-nose anal. techniques because of the high content of key-aroma VOCs. Several biomarkers identified by GC-qMS, such as 2-hepanol, 2-methylpropanoic acid, and 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine, recognized as key-aroma compounds for cocoa beans, were found suitable for the classification of CBSs according to their quality and origin. GC-qMS and E-nose appeared to be suitable anal. approaches to classify CBSs, with a high correlation between both anal. techniques. The volatile fingerprint and classification of CBSs could allow for the selection of samples with a specific flavor profile according to the food application and, therefore, constitute an interesting approach to valorise this byproduct as a food ingredient.

Devaraj, Harish published the artcileProfiling of headspace volatiles from Escherichia coli cultures using silicone-based sorptive media and thermal desorption GC-MS, COA of Formula: C13H16O, the main research area is headspace volatile Escherichia culture silicone sorptive media GCMS; bacterial volatiles; gas chromatography; sorptive extraction; stir bar; thermal desorption.

Headspace sorptive extraction technique using silicone based sorptive media coated stir bars is used for the first time here to extract, identify, and quantify heavy volatile organic compounds present in Escherichia coli culture headspace. Detection of infection presence is largely accomplished in laboratories through phys. sampling and subsequent growth of cultures for biochem. testing. The use of volatile biomarkers released from pathogens as indicators for pathogenic presence can vastly reduce the time needed while improving the success rates for infection detection. To validate this, by using a contactless headspace sorptive extraction technique, the volatile compounds released from E. coli, grown in vitro, have been extracted and identified. Two different sorptive media for extracting these headspace volatiles were compared in this study and the identified volatiles were quantified. The large phase volume and wider retention of this sorptive technique compared to traditional sampling approach enabled preconcentration and collection of wider range of volatiles towards developing an extensive database of such heavy volatiles associated with E. coli. This supplements the existing data of potential bacterial markers and use of internal standards in these tests allows semi-quant. estimation of these compounds towards the development and optimization of novel pathogen sensing devices.

Wasilewski, Tomasz published the artcileDetermination of long-chain aldehydes using a novel quartz crystal microbalance sensor based on a biomimetic peptide, HPLC of Formula: 1205-17-0, the main research area is aliphatic aldehyde quartz crystal microbalance biosensor biomimetic peptide.

This study presents investigation on usefulness of the peptide mimicking HarmOBP7 region as a receptor element of the piezoelec. sensor for selective anal. of long-chain aldehydes. Identification of odorant binding proteins creates new possibilities for design of peptides mimicking binding properties of their volatile compounds Exploration of OBPs and new peptide sequences capable to effectively bind volatile compounds is necessary to enhance artificial olfaction. For the development of biosensors where simple detection is crucial rather than identification of subsequent metabolic activity, the use of sub-protein components (e.g. ligand-binding regions or synthetic peptides) is still escalating. Bearing all this in mind, a segment of a peptide sequence associated with a specific function of HarmOBP7 (involved in binding the long-chain aldehydes) has been designed, synthesized and immobilized on a piezoelec. transducer. The results of in silico investigations were correlated with the exptl. measurements of gas substances. The correlated results confirm a high selectivity of the KLLFDSLTDLKKKMSEC-based sensor with respect to long-chain aliphatic aldehydes including octanal, decanal, undecanal, nonanal and helional. Odorant mols. interact with recognition peptide with specific affinities. The results can throw a new light on the possibility of synthetic peptide application as a receptor layer in biosensors in odorants anal.

Two pillared-layer metal-organic frameworks with pcu network were synthesized by the mechanochem. reaction of three components (ZnO, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (Hatz) or 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (Hdatz), and isophthalic acid (H2ipa)) at room temperature with space-time yield up to 4800 kgm-3 day-1. The mechanochem.-synthesized [Zn2(atz)2(ipa)] (Zn-atz-ipa) and [Zn2(datz)2(ipa)] (Zn-datz-ipa) exhibit the high purity and porosity with BET surface areas of 655 and 572 m2g-1, resp., which are comparable with those synthesized by the traditional solvothermal method. In C2H4/C2H6 (volume/volume = 1/1) breakthrough experiment, Zn-datz-ipa can preferentially adsorb C2H6 over C2H4, showing a great potential for one-step purification of C2H4. In addition, this mechanochem. method can be scaled up to 100 mmol magnitude with single-pass production up to 20.0 g.
