Multicolor Super-Resolution Microscopy of Protein Corona on Single Nanoparticles

TL;DR: This study shows that STED microscopy opens the window toward mechanistic understanding of protein coronas and aids in the rational design of nanoparticles as nanomedicines and biosensors.

Plasmon-Enhanced Single-Molecule Enzymology

TL;DR: It is shown that plasmon enhancement can boost the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of single turnovers by up to 100 fold compared to confocal microscopy.

Dynamic switching biosensor

Abstract: An analyte [25] in a matrix is sensed using a sensing device having a detection probe [21] conjugated to a mediator-receptor [22] that is not a binder for the analyte. The sensor device is provided with mediators [23] conjugated to analyte-receptors [24], where the mediators are selected to bind to the mediator-receptors, and where the analyte-receptors are selected to bind to the analyte. In some embodiments, the mediators are bound to the detection probe by a tether molecule, or tether molecule fragment, or tether domain. In other embodiments, the mediators are not bound to the detection probe. The presence of the analyte is detected by optically or electrically detecting changes of distance between the mediators and the mediator-receptor, indicative of association and/or dissociation events between mediators and mediator-receptor, the characteristics of which are affected by whether the analyte is bound to the analyte-receptor.
