A heterobifunctional cross-linker with one sulfhydryl-reactive dinitroimidazole end and another amine-reactive -hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester end was designed and synthesized. The two motifs of this cross-linker, dinitroimidazole and NHS ester, proved to react with thiol and amine, respectively, in an orthogonal way. The cross-linker was further applied to construct stapled peptides of different sizes and mono- and dual functionalization (including biotinylation, PEGylation, and fluorescence labeling) of protein.

Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET)-Mediated Protein Release from Self-Illuminating Photoresponsive Biomaterials.

Phototriggered release of various cargos, including soluble protein factors and small molecules, has the potential to correct aberrant biological events by offering spatiotemporal control over local therapeutic levels. However, the poor penetration depth of light historically limits implementation to subdermal regions, necessitating alternative methods of light delivery to achieve the full potential of photodynamic therapeutic release. Here, we introduce a strategy exploiting bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)-an energy transfer process between light-emitting Nanoluciferase (NLuc) and a photosensitive acceptor molecule-to drive biomolecule release from hydrogel biomaterials.

Acidic residues (Asp and Glu) have a high prevalence on protein surfaces, but cross-linking reactions targeting these residues are limited. Existing methods either require high-concentration coupling reagents or have low structural compatibility. Here a previously reported "plant-and-cast" strategy is extended to develop heterobifunctional cross-linkers.

A point-of-care blood test for the detection of an emerging biomarker, CCL17/TARC, could prove transformative for the clinical management of classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Primary care diagnosis is challenging due to nonspecific clinical presentation and lack of a diagnostic test, leading to significant diagnostic delays. Treatment monitoring encounters false-positive and negative results, leading to avoidable chemotherapy toxicity, or undertreatment, impacting patient morbidity and mortality.

In this paper, we demonstrate an electrochemical method for detection of the heart failure biomarker, N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). The approach is based on a paper electrode assembly and a metalloimmunoassay; it is intended for eventual integration into a home-use sensor. Sensing of NT-proBNP relies on the formation of a sandwich immunoassay and electrochemical quantification of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) labels attached to the detection antibodies (Abs).
