    摘要: A nanoplasmonic resonator (NPR) comprising a metallic nanodisk with alternating shielding layer(s), having a tagged biomolecule conjugated or tethered to the surface of the nanoplasmonic resonator for highly sensitive measurement of enzymatic activity. NPRs enhance Raman signals in a highly reproducible manner, enabling fast detection of protease and enzyme activity, such as Prostate Specific Antigen (paPSA), in real-time, at picomolar sensitivity levels. Experiments on extracellular fluid (ECF) from paPSA-positive cells demonstrate specific detection in a complex bio-fluid background in real-time single-step detection in very small sample volumes.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to novel methods for identifying small molecule ligands that are capable of binding with high affinity to a biological target molecule of interest. High affinity binding ligands identified by the described methods find use, for example, as small molecule lead compounds that may they themselves be, or may give rise to, novel therapeutic drugs. More specifically, the subject invention is directed to methods for identifying a ligand that binds to a target biological molecule of interest, wherein a population of small organic compounds are selected and then “pre-screened” to identify those that are capable of binding to the molecular target. The small organic compounds that are identified during the pre-screening as being capable of binding to the target (or structurally related analogs thereof) are then coupled in various combinations with a linker element to provide a library of potential ligands for binding to the target molecule that is then screened to identify ligands having very high binding affinities for the molecular target. Ligands obtained by this method and methods for using those ligands for inhibiting the interaction between two biological molecules are also provided.

    摘要: This invention pertains to the in vitro detection of proteases using a single peptide-conjugate nanocrescent surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes with at least nanomolar sensitivity. The probe enables detection of proteolytic activity in extremely small volume and at low concentration. In certain embodiments the probes comprise an indicator for the detection of an active protease, where the indicator comprises a nanocrescent attached to a peptide, where said peptide comprises a recognition site for the protease and a Raman tag attached to the peptide.
