A colourimetric high-throughput screening system was established for directed evolution of prodigiosin ligase PigC. The two-step system consists of a colony prescreening test and a subsequent photometric 96-well plate assay. Screening PigC epPCR libraries in Pseudomonas putida revealed a PigC variant that achieved a 2.9× increased yield of prodiginine derivatives.

A Label-Free Colorimetric Aptasensor for Flavokavain B Detection.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Flavokavain B (FKB), a hepatotoxic chalcone from (kava), has raised safety concerns due to its role in disrupting redox homeostasis and inducing apoptosis in hepatocytes. Conventional chromatographic methods for FKB detection, while sensitive, are costly and impractical for field applications. In this work, DNA aptamers were selected using the library-immobilized method and high-throughput sequencing.

Colorimetric paper-based analytical devices (CPADs) are cost-efficient and high-throughput technologies that use readily available materials for point-of-need (PON) applications by leveraging color changes in response to target analytes. However, the complexity of samples can limit the precision and accuracy of CPAD applications. Therefore, CPADs have been combined with chemometric approaches to enhance analytical performance and provide simple solutions to complex systems.

Electronic address:

Background: Phenolic pollutants with high toxicity and low biodegradability can disrupt environmental balance and severely affect human health, whereas existing methods are difficult to implement the rapid and high-throughput detection of multiple phenolic pollutants.

Results: Herein, we developed a four-dimensional colorimetric sensor array based on imidazole-modulated Cu@MOFs for distinguishing and determining phenolic pollutants. Wherein, four Cu@MOFs (ATP@Cu, ADP@Cu, AMP@Cu, and GMP@Cu) nanozyme with laccase-like activity were firstly prepared, and a novel strategy of imidazole-containing molecules-regulated was proposed to improve the laccase-like activity of Cu@MOFs nanozymes.

Efficient analysis of active ingredient in complex natural products is crucial for drug discovery, but developing a simple method for this is challenging. The discovery of drugs against bacterial resistance is urgent because drug-resistant bacteria produce β-lactamases, which inactivate antibiotics and increase infection risks, particularly the AmpC β-lactamase. Here, an integrated analytical model based on colorimetric sensing and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) affinity chromatography was developed for screening AmpC β-lactamase inhibitors.

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB), the most prevalent solid tumor in children, arises from sympathetic nervous system and accounts for 15% of pediatric cancer mortality. This malignancy exhibits substantial genetic and clinical heterogeneity, thus complicating treatment strategies. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), a key enzyme catalyzing polyADP-ribosylation (PARylation), plays critical roles in various cellular processes, and contributes to tumorigenesis and aggressiveness.
