Mould routine identification in the clinical laboratory by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: MALDI-TOF MS recently emerged as a valuable identification tool for bacteria and yeasts and revolutionized the daily clinical laboratory routine. But it has not been established for routine mould identification. This study aimed to validate a

Design and Engineering of an Artificial Bifunctional N‐Deacetylase/N‐Sulfotransferase for the Biosynthesis of N‐Sulfated Heparosan

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An artificial bifunctional N‐deacetylase/N‐sulfotransferase was engineered in Escherichia coli by combining screened N‐deacetylases with an NST domain. The integrated engineering strategy improved enzyme performance. The optimized enzyme efficiently converted heparosan into N‐sulfated heparosan, addressing a key bottleneck in microbial heparin ...

Membrane‐Active Peptide Protects Against Inflammation by Targeting NLRP3 Activation at the Trans‐Golgi Network

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The membrane‐active peptide Pep19‐2.5 reduces harmful inflammation by blocking activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome at trans‐Golgi network membranes. By targeting key membrane interactions, Pep19‐2.5 suppresses inflammatory IL‐1β production and alleviates allergic airway inflammation in mice, leading to reduced immune cell infiltration and improved ...

Radical‐Mediated In Situ Fluorescence Dye Deposition: A Simple Interfacial Signal Amplification Reaction for Ultrasensitive Immunoassay on Barcode Beads

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A radical‐mediated in situ fluorescence dye deposition (RIFD) reaction containing merely three elements of beads, dyes, and radicals is discovered for the first time, and its underlying mechanism is elucidated. This simple RIFD enables the interfacial and ultrafast deposition of free dyes onto barcode beads, serving as a powerful signal amplification ...

High‐Density E. Coli Cultivation Arrays for Combinatorial Drug Testing With Subsequent Lipid Profiling by MALDI‐MS

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐throughput antibiotic cross‐gradient assays on microdroplet arrays. A multichannel printhead together with five pressure regulators forms droplet arrays of up to 20 832 droplets within 25 minutes. Each droplet contains unique concentrations of antibiotics, allowing to moniture a vast spectrum of bacterial repsonses over night. The bacterial growth

MALDI-TOF MS: A Microbiological Perspective

, 2022
Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique in which chemical compounds are ionized into charged molecules and ratio of their mass to charge (m/z) is measured (Everley et al., 2008). Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) is an ionization technique that uses a laser energy absorbing matrix to create ions from large molecules with minimal ...

An Aggregation‐Induced Polymerization Poly(Disulfide)‐Drug Nanoplatform for Autoimmune Uveitis Therapy via Inhibiting the cGAS‐STING Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cationic poly(disulfide)‐drug nanoplatform (LA/DexP) was developed to treat experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU). With potent blood‐retinal barrier penetrability, LA/DexP releases DSP in response to high ROS and scavenges cfDNA to inhibit the cGAS‐STING signaling pathway.

Rapid Multiplex Antimicrobial Resistance Profiling and Bacterial Identification by LAP‐MALDI Mass Spectrometry Biotyping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Liquid atmospheric pressure matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (LAP‐MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) provides multiplexed biotyping of microbial cultures using a fast and simple workflow. This is demonstrated for clinically relevant bacteria, resulting in accurate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) detection, speciation by MS/MS sequencing and ...

Protease‐Triggered Chromogenic Release From Peptide‐Modified Calcium Carbonate Microspheres Enables Colorimetric Detection of Porphyromonas gingivalis Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a chromogenic release‐based assay system with protease‐cleavage peptide‐modified calcium carbonate microspheres for colorimetric detection of Porphyromonas (P.) gingivalis activity. In response to Arg‐specific gingipain secreted by P. gingivalis, the supernatant becomes colored, enabling colorimetric analysis and providing the monitoring of ...

De Novo Discovery of Nonstandard Thioisoindole‐Bridged Bicyclic Peptides Targeting Traf2‐ and NCK‐Interacting Kinase

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An optimized strategy for the ribosomal synthesis of thioisoindole‐bridged bicyclic (TiB) peptides is incorporated into the RaPID platform, enabling high‐throughput discovery from topologically defined TiB libraries. Proof‐of‐concept selection against TNIK identifies nanomolar‐affinity ligands with inhibitory activity, while x‐ray crystallography ...
