Affinity peptide-based electrochemical biosensor with 2D-2D nanoarchitecture of nickel-chromium-layered double hydroxide and graphene oxide nanosheets for chirality detection of symmetric dimethylarginine.

The accurate assessment of kidney dysfunction is crucial in clinical practice, necessitating the exploration of reliable biomarkers. However, current methods for measuring SDMA often fall short in terms of sensitivity and specificity. In this study, we employed phage display technology to identify high affinity peptides that specifically bind to SDMA.

Electrochemical peptide-based biosensor for the detection of the inflammatory disease biomarker, interleukin-1beta.

This paper reports the development of a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical peptide-based biosensor for the detection of the inflammatory disease biomarker, interleukin-1beta (IL-1β). To this end, flower-like Au-Ag@MoS-rGO nanocomposites were used as the signal amplification platform to achieve a label-free biosensor with a high sensitivity and selectivity. First, a high-affinity peptide for IL-1β was identified through biopanning with M13 random peptide libraries, and was newly designed by incorporating cysteine at the C-terminus.
