An interesting biotin-linked-antigen-Sandwich-ELISA was developed (BLA-S-ELISA), which based on the captured Trinitrophenol-Biotin (TNP-Biotin) molecule between the immobilised monovalent antibody and enzyme-conjugated streptavidin. Monoclonal anti-Trinitrotoluene single chain fragment antibody (anti-TNT-scFv) was cloned and expressed in cells, and then used as an immobilised component in an assay. Thereafter, the previously synthesised TNP-Biotin was added as antigen followed by the addition of streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (streptavidin-HRP) conjugate which led finally to the formation of a three-component system (antibody/TNP-Biotin/streptavidin-HRP). The assay was performed with a range of different dilutions of TNP-Biotin to establish its minimal detectable concentration. The detection limit of TNP-Biotin was 4 ngmL (i.e. 200 pg or 0.42 pmol antigen calculated on the basis of 50 μL sample or 8.4 nM expressed in concentration units). According to our best knowledge, this is the very first time for any model antigen to be detected with such a form of biotin-streptavidin sandwich-assay.

Rapid and strategic cell placement is necessary for high throughput tissue fabrication. Current adhesive cell patterning systems rely on fluidic shear flow to remove cells outside of the patterned regions, but limitations in washing complexity and uniformity prevent adhesive patterns from being widely applied. Centrifugation is commonly used to study the adhesive strength of cells to various substrates; however, the approach has not been applied to selective cell adhesion systems to create highly organized cell patterns.

Hyaluronan (HA; [-3-GlcNAc-1-beta-4-GlcA-1-beta] ), an essential matrix polysaccharide of vertebrates and the molecular camouflage coating in certain pathogens, is polymerized by "HA synthase" (HAS) enzymes. Three HAS classes have been identified with biotechnological utility, but only the Class II PmHAS from Type A has been useful for preparation of very defined HA polymers in vitro. Two general chemoenzymatic strategies with different size products are possible: (1) repetitive step-wise extension reactions by sequential addition of a single monosaccharide from a donor UDP-sugar onto an acceptor (or "primer") comprised of a short glycosaminoglycan chain (e.

Islet transplantation is a promising therapy for diabetes, yet the limited survival and functionality of transplanted islet grafts hinder optimal outcomes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an endogenous hormone, has shown potential to enhance islet survival and function; however, its systemic administration can result in poor localization and undesirable side effects. To address these challenges, we developed a novel peptide-based nanofiber hydrogel incorporating GLP-1 functionality for localized delivery.

The covalently attached cofactor biotin plays pivotal roles in central metabolism. The top-priority ESKAPE-type pathogens, and , constitute a public health challenge of global concern. Despite the fact that the late step of biotin synthesis is a validated anti-ESKAPE drug target, the primary stage remains fragmentarily understood.

Article Synopsis
- Helicobacter pylori is a type 1 carcinogen linked to gastric ulcers and cancer, and research by the Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease focuses on potential treatments targeting this bacterium.
- The study reports on the purification and crystallization of H. pylori biotin protein ligase (HpBPL), an enzyme that plays a crucial role in important metabolic processes and helps H. pylori thrive in the acidic environment of the stomach.
- Despite having low sequence identity with similar proteins, HpBPL shares significant structural similarities with Mycobacterium tuberculosis biotin protein ligase, indicating potential for developing inhibitors that could be effective against HpBPL.
