To effectively and conveniently detect pathogenic bacteria, this study aimed to develop label-free biosensors fabricated affinity peptides that can recognize targeted bacteria strains and enable precise quantitative detections.
A 12-mer peptide with high binding affinity toward Escherichia coli O157:H7 was discovered by biopanning of phage-displayed peptide library. The peptide modified with glycine residues (G) and one cysteine (C) residue at C-terminal, could self-assemble on gold electrodes, enabling electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis for quantitative detection of E. coli O157:H7. This method showed a low detection limit of 20 CFU/mL and a liner range from 2 × 10 to 2 × 10 CFU/mL.
It appears that, by designing and optimizing the structures of peptides, such a strategy can be greatly promising in developing quick, sensitive and quantitative biosensor of pathogens.
为了有效地、方便地检测病原菌,本研究旨在开发无标记的生物传感器,这些传感器由能够识别目标细菌株的亲和肽制成,从而实现精确的定量检测。
通过噬菌体展示肽文库的生物淘选,发现了一种与大肠杆菌 O157:H7 具有高结合亲和力的 12 肽。该肽在 C 末端修饰了一个甘氨酸(G)和一个半胱氨酸(C)残基,可在金电极上自组装,从而可以进行电化学阻抗谱(EIS)分析,实现对大肠杆菌 O157:H7 的定量检测。该方法的检测下限低至 20 CFU/mL,线性范围为 2×10 到 2×10 CFU/mL。
通过设计和优化肽的结构,这种策略似乎在开发快速、敏感和定量的病原体生物传感器方面具有很大的前景。
