Herein, we demonstrate that the bacterial signaling molecule, c-di-GMP, can enhance the peroxidation of hemin when proflavine is present. The c-di-GMP-proflavine-hemin nucleotidezyme can oxidize the colorless compound 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), ABTS, to the colored radical cation ABTS˙(+) and hence provides simple colorimetric detection of c-di-GMP at low micromolar concentrations.
在此,我们证明,当存在原黄素时,细菌信号分子环二鸟苷酸(c-di-GMP)可增强血红素的过氧化作用。c-di-GMP-原黄素-血红素核酶可将无色化合物2,2'-联氮-双-(3-乙基苯并噻唑啉-6-磺酸)(ABTS)氧化为有色自由基阳离子ABTS˙(+),因此可在低微摩尔浓度下对c-di-GMP进行简单的比色检测。
