    Abstract: A resonator is disclosed for the detection of a mass analyte, such as a biological analyte. The resonator has: a piezoelectric layer formed of a piezoelectric material; a first resonator region and a second resonator region each occupying a corresponding region of the piezoelectric layer; electrodes disposed to apply a driving signal to the piezoelectric layer to generate bulk acoustic waves, the electrodes being common to the first resonator region and the second resonator region. In operation, the first resonator region has a first resonant frequency and the second resonator region has a second resonant frequency. The first resonator region and the second resonator region differ from each other in that the first resonator region is adapted to receive a mass analyte for the mass analyte selectively to attach to a surface of the first resonator region. In operation, attachment of the mass analyte selectively at the first resonator region causes a greater frequency shift in the first resonant frequency than in the second resonant frequency. Also disclosed is a corresponding method for the detection of a mass analyte.

    Abstract: This invention relates to modular proteins that interact with one or more target molecules. The chimeric proteins comprise two or more repeat domains, such as tetratricopeptide repeat domains; inter-repeat loops linking the repeat domains; and one or more peptide ligands. Each peptide ligand is located in an inter-repeat loop or at the N or C terminus of the chimeric protein. The peptide ligands may include heterologous peptidyl binding motifs, such as short linear motifs (SLiMs). Chimeric proteins with various configurations and methods for their production and use are provided.
