We prepared the bioactive liquid crystal (LC) droplets by decorating an oligopeptide at the LC/aqueous interface to stabilize the LC droplets. These LC droplets can be used to detect proteases through the specific cleavage of protease on an oligopeptide leading to a bipolar-to-radial transition of LC configuration inside the droplets.
我们通过在液晶/水界面修饰一种寡肽来制备生物活性液晶(LC)微滴,以稳定LC微滴。这些LC微滴可用于检测蛋白酶,因为蛋白酶对寡肽的特异性切割会导致微滴内部LC构型从双极向径向转变。
