Chemoreception: Identifying Friends and Foes
The vomeronasal organ detects chemical cues that trigger sexual, aggressive and defensive behaviors. An in situ hybridization analysis has identified the specificities of nearly a hundred VNO receptors and elucidated the logic by which they encode these cues.
متن کاملThiol Reactive Probes and Chemosensors
Thiols are important molecules in the environment and in biological processes. Cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) play critical roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. The selective detection of thiols using reaction-based probes and sensors is very important in basic research and in disease diagnosis. This review focuses o...
متن کاملPhysics of chemoreception.
Statistical fluctuations limit the precision with which a microorganism can, in a given time T, determine the concentration of a chemoattractant in the surrounding medium. The best a cell can do is to monitor continually the state of occupation of receptors distributed over its surface. For nearly optimum performance only a small fraction of the surface need be specifically adsorbing. The proba...
متن کاملCoumarin-Derived Fluorescent Chemosensors
Fluorescent chemosensors are highly valuable in a variety of fields including environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry, and bio-medicinal science. They have provided accurate, on-line, and low-cost detection of toxic heavy metal ions, anions, and enzymes with high selectivity and sensitivity. Coumarins, with the structure of benzopyrone, have many advantages including high fluorescence qua...
متن کاملVirtual Issue: Chemosensors
Chemosensors are compounds that incorporate a receptor unit and a reporter unit in a single molecule. A chemosensor transforms the action of binding to a specific analyte into a readable signal. Chemosensors have enabled the study of molecular interactions in a range of different media and interfaces. This offers a non-invasive approach to observe living biological samples in real time without ...
