Activatable Dendritic 19F Probes for Enzyme Detection
We describe a novel activatable probe for fluorine-19 NMR based on self-assembling amphiphilic dendrons. The dendron probe has been designed to be spectroscopically silent due to the formation of large aggregates. Upon exposure to the specific target enzyme, the aggregates disassemble to give rise to a sharp 19F NMR signal. The probe is capable of detecting enzyme concentrations in the low nano...
متن کاملGenetically encoded molecular probes to visualize and perturb signaling dynamics in living biological systems.
In this Commentary, we discuss two sets of genetically encoded molecular tools that have significantly enhanced our ability to observe and manipulate complex biochemical processes in their native context and that have been essential in deepening our molecular understanding of how intracellular signaling networks function. In particular, genetically encoded biosensors are widely used to directly...
متن کاملFluorinated Lanthanide (III) Probes for 19F magnetic Resonance Imaging
BACKGROUND New cancer treatments are being developed that exploit the molecular pathology of the disease; however, for the optimal use of these new treatments, functional imaging probes are required to: image the molecular pathology of the cancer noninvasively in order to select the most effective treatment, demonstrate that the drug is reaching the tumour and interacting with its intended targ...
متن کاملResponsive fluorinated lanthanide probes for 19F magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
The introduction of CF(3) reporter groups close to the paramagnetic centre in macrocyclic lanthanide(iii) complexes allows faster acquisition of (19)F magnetic resonance data, and amplifies chemical shift non-equivalence, as exemplified by the definition of ratiometric chemical shift probes for pH and, in principle, enzyme activity.
متن کاملNanoplasmonic probes of catalytic reactions.
Optical probes of heterogeneous catalytic reactions can be valuable tools for optimization and process control because they can operate under realistic conditions, but often probes lack sensitivity. We have developed a plasmonic sensing method for such reactions based on arrays of nanofabricated gold disks, covered by a thin (approximately 10 nanometer) coating (catalyst support) on which the c...
