We developed a peptide-templated gold nanoparticle (AuNP) nanosensor for simultaneous detection of multiple posttranslational modification (PTM) enzymes with a detection limit of 28 pM for histone deacetylase (HDAC) and 0.8 pM for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), and it can be further applied for the screening of PTM enzyme inhibitors and the measurement of PTM enzymes in cancer cells.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a clinically significant biomarker for early-stage cancer diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. Conventional immunoassays, while effective, suffer from limitations in stability, sensitivity, and procedural complexity. In this work, we report a label-free nanozyme electrochemical biosensor (nanoE-EB) integrating self-assembled peptide-templated Au/Cu bimetallic nanozymes for selective and sensitive CEA detection, eliminating labeling steps.

Microtubules are highly dynamic structures, and their dynamic instability is indispensable for not only cell growth and movement, but also stress responses, such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Docetaxel, a microtubule targeting agent (MTA), is the first-line drug for cancer treatment by simultaneously promoting microtubule dysregulation- and ER stress-induced cell death. However, it also causes adverse effects and drug resistance, especially in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with a poor prognosis and high mortality rate.

Characterization of the protein-peptide interactions are a critical for understanding the functions and signal pathways of proteins. Herein, a new finding of universal terminal protection that protein bind specifically with peptide and provide a protective coating to prevent peptide hydrolysis in the presence of peptidase. On the basis of this mechanism, we first reported a novel label-free fluorescence biosensor strategy that utilizes the protection of specific terminal protein on peptide-templated gold nanocluster (AuNCs) beacon for the detection of proteins.

Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) with high incidence and mortality rates remains a great challenge in the clinic; thus, novel therapies need to be developed urgently. This complication is associated with an overwhelming systemic inflammatory response. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effects and possible mechanisms of gold clusters on septic AKI in vitro.
