    摘要: This invention provides a method of testing for periodontal disease in a subject which comprises detecting an elevated concentration of &bgr;-glucuronidase in saliva from the subject relative to the concentration of &bgr;-glucuronidase present in saliva from a healthy subject. The concentration of &bgr;-glucuronidase in the subject's saliva is determined by adding to a sample of the saliva a substrate for &bgr;-glucuronidase and measuring the amount of a product produced by the action of &bgr;-glucuronidase in the substrate. Also, the concentration of &bgr;-glucuronidase in the subject's saliva is determined by adding to a sample of saliva a labeled antibody specific for &bgr;-glucuronidase and measuring the amount of labeled antibody which forms a complex with &bgr;-glucuronidase present in the saliva.

    摘要: A sensor for detecting an analyte in an environment includes a first reaction system including a first enzyme and a substrate for the first enzyme. The analyte inhibits the reaction of the substrate catalyzed by the first enzyme (in other words, the analyte inhibits the first enzyme). The sensor further includes at least a second reaction system that reacts to produce a first detectable state when the first enzyme is inhibited. In some embodiments, the reaction of the first reaction system can produce a second detectible state, different from the first detectible state. Another sensor for detecting an analyte in an environment includes a first reaction system including a first enzyme or a first substrate for the first enzyme. In this embodiment, the analyte is either a substrate for the first enzyme if the first reaction system includes the first enzyme or the first enzyme if the first reaction system includes the first substrate. The sensor also includes at least a second reaction system that reacts to produce a first detectable state when the analyte is below a certain concentration. The sensor thus provides a positive or detectible response when the analyte is absent or deficient. Once again, the first reaction can produce a second detectible state, different from the first detectible state.

    摘要: Compounds of the invention have the structure D—L—A*, where L is a linking moiety that maintains D and A in a configuration compatible with FRET, D is a fluorescent donor moiety capable of causing an acceptor moiety to fluoresce by FRET, and A* is a fluorescent acceptor moiety capable of accepting energy from the donor moiety by FRET and fluorescing only after cleavage of one or more labile groups to provide acceptor A. These compounds are useful as fluorescent substrates for detection of enzymes in vivo.
