This molecular switch is modular in design, so it can easily be re-engineered for the detection of other peptide-specific antibodies.
To our knowledge, this is the first LAB-based system engineered for both detection and inhibition of specific pathogens.
Peroxy orange 1 (PO1) is a synthetic chemical probe, which is engineered for fluorescence detection of H2O2 in living cells upon oxidative stress.
An integrated array of micron-dimension capacitors, originally developed for biometric applications (fingerprint identification), was engineered for detection of biological agents such as proteins and bacteria.
This featured article describes and illustrates different photochemical processes, which have been exploited to engineer new probes for the detection and the site-specific production of ROS.
Finally, an engineered aptamer based approach for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides was successfully applied in a test using a real sample, the limit of quantification (LOQ) for phorate, profenofos, isocarbophos, and omethoate reached 19.2, 13.4, 17.2, and 23.4 nM (0.005 mg L−1), respectively.
Expression vectors derived from pCF10, a cCF10-responsive E. faecalis sex-pheromone conjugative plasmid, were engineered in L. lactis for the detection system.
This especially counts for the detection of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in food products.
An online survey was conducted by the International Life Sciences Institute, Food Biotechnology Committee, on the use of qualitative and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and Agrobacterium tumefaciens T nos DNA sequence elements for the detection of genetically engineered (GE) crop plant material.
