Biosensors allow the direct detection of molecular analytes, by associating a biological receptor with a transducer able to convert the analyte-receptor recognition event into a measurable signal. We review recent work aimed at developing synthetic fluorescent molecular sensors for a variety of analytes, based on peptidic receptors labeled with environmentally sensitive fluorophores. Fluorescent indicators based on synthetic peptides are highly interesting alternatives to protein-based sensors, since they can be synthesized chemically, are stable, and can be easily modified in a site-specific manner for fluorophore coupling and for immobilization on solid supports.
生物传感器允许通过将生物受体与能够将分析物-受体识别事件转换为可测量信号的换能器相关联,从而直接检测分子分析物。我们综述了最近旨在开发基于用环境敏感荧光团标记的肽受体的各种分析物的合成荧光分子传感器的工作。基于合成肽的荧光指示剂是基于蛋白质的传感器的非常有吸引力的替代品,因为它们可以通过化学合成,稳定,并且可以通过荧光团偶联和固定在固体载体上的方式进行特异性修饰,从而可以轻松修饰。
