    摘要: A hydrogel precursor formulation which is in the form of an unreacted powder. The formulation comprises an activating enzyme, preferably thrombin, a cross-linking enzyme, preferably a transglutaminase, and more preferably factor XIII transglutaminase. The cross-linking enzyme is activatable by the activating enzyme in water with or without a buffer, and at least one structural compound A. The structural compound is crosslinkable by a selective reaction mediated by the crosslinking enzyme to form a hydrogel, wherein the cross-linking enzyme is activated.

    摘要: A protein scaffold includes a plurality of EutM subunits and a multi-enzyme cascade. The multi-enzyme cascade includes a first enzyme attached to the first EutM subunit and a second enzyme attached to the second EutM subunit. The scaffold may be formed by a method that generally includes incubating a plurality of EutM subunits under conditions allowing the EutM subunits to self-assemble into a protein scaffold, attaching a first enzyme of a multi-enzyme cascade to a first EutM subunit, and attaching a second enzyme of the multi-enzyme cascade to a second EutM subunit. The scaffold may be self-assembled in vivo or in vitro. Each enzyme may be, independently of any other enzyme, attached to its EutM subunit in vivo or in vitro. Each enzyme may be, independently of any other enzyme, attached to its EutM subunit before or after the scaffold is assembled.

    摘要: A method of determining generation of an activated protease in a biological sample is provided. The method comprises the steps of exposing a biological sample to a substrate for the activated protease, wherein the substrate comprises a detectable label linked to a cleavage sequence for the activated protease by C-terminal and N-terminal spacers that form a beta-sheet, and wherein the detectable label emits a first signal associated with the substrate and second signal associated with a cleaved product; and determining the generation of the activated protease by measuring the change in the first or second signal over time.
