Convenient detection of Candida albicans in human bodies is essential to treat patients with candidiasis. In this study, we designed a fluorescence-quenched peptide that emits fluorescence after being cleaved by virulent proteases secreted by C. albicans. The designed peptide will enable easy detection of candidiasis in immunocompromised patients.
方便地检测人体中的白色念珠菌对于治疗念珠菌病患者至关重要。在这项研究中，我们设计了一种荧光猝灭肽，该肽在被白色念珠菌分泌的毒性蛋白酶切割后会发出荧光。设计的肽将能够方便地检测免疫功能低下患者的念珠菌病。
