We propose a new approach of an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for determination of D-glutamic acid (D-Glu) using a monoclonal antibody against D-glutamic acid (D-Glu-MAb), which recognizes D-Glu-glutaraldehyde (GA) molecule but not D-Glu molecule. Human serum albumin (HSA) was coated on an immunoplate and reacted with D-Glu via GA to produce D-Glu-GA-HSA conjugates in situ in the well to be recognized by D-Glu-MAb, which enabled the development of an indirect ELISA for the determination of free D-Glu. In this indirect ELISA, D-Glu can be specifically detected with limit of detection of 7.81 μ g/mL. Since anti-conjugate antibodies are often produced, even though anti-hapten antibodies are desired, this new approach could be very useful as an application of anti-conjugate antibodies to the development of quantitative analysis for detecting hapten.

Bacterial peptidoglycan, the essential cell surface polymer that protects bacterial integrity, also serves as the molecular pattern recognized by the host's innate immune system. Although the minimal motifs of bacterial peptidoglycan fragments (PGNs) that activate mammalian NOD1 and NOD2 sensors are well-known and often represented by small canonical ligands, the immunostimulatory effects of natural PGNs, which are structurally more complex and potentially can simultaneously activate both the NOD1 and NOD2 signaling pathways in hosts, have not been comprehensively investigated. In particular, many bacteria incorporate additional structural modifications in peptidoglycans to evade host immune surveillance, resulting in diverse structural variations among natural PGNs that may influence their biological effects in hosts.

Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis (Bcbva) causes anthrax-like disease in animals, particularly in the non-human primates and great apes of West and Central Africa. Genomic analyses revealed Bcbva as a member of the B. cereus species that carries two plasmids, pBCXO1 and pBCXO2, which have high sequence homology to the B.

Radiotheranostics using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting radioligands offers precision medicine by performing radionuclide therapy based on results of diagnosis. Albumin binder (ALB) binds to albumin reversibly and contributes to effective radiotheranostics by enhancing tumor accumulation of PSMA-targeting radioligands. We newly developed two ALB-containing PSMA-targeting radioligands including dual functional linkers, a hydrophilic linker, d-glutamic acid, and a hydrophobic linker, 4-(aminomethyl)benzoic acid, with the opposite arrangement (PNT-DA6 and PNT-DA7).

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers synthesized L/D-glutamic acid-based amphiphiles (L/D-GluC16) and created helical nanofibers (M/P-GluC16) with supramolecular chirality, using solvent manipulation.
- * Molecular dynamics simulations showed that M/P-GluC16 binds more effectively to proteins than L/D-GluC16, resulting in greater cancer cell inhibition, emphasizing the importance of supramolecular chirality over molecular chirality in these interactions.
