This review highlights recent development of biosensors that use the functions of membrane
proteins. Membrane proteins are essential components of biological membranes and have a …

A pesticide vapor sensor was developed using an agarose gel-based chip containing a
nanopore sensing system. Vaporized omethoate was detected by the absorption into the …

This review introduces the recent advances in the nanopore sensing platform, ion channel
probes (ICPs), with a particular focus on the different probe design (2011–2022). The use of …

Daptomycin is a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic that targets the lipid membrane of Gram-positive
bacteria. Membrane fluidity and charge can affect daptomycin activity, but its mechanisms …

Microfluidic instrumentation offers unique advantages in biotechnology applications
including reduced sample and reagent consumption, rapid mixing and reaction times, and a …

The inwardly rectifying K+(Kir) channel, Kir6. 2, plays critical roles in physiological
processes in the brain, heart, and pancreas. Although Kir6. 2 has been extensively studied …

Pipet aperture-based electrophysiological (EP) sensors have emerged relatively recently as
powerful bioanalytical tools. Taking advantage of the ligand specificity and inherent high …

We designed and synthesized amphiphilic glycopeptides with glucose or galactose at the C-
terminals. We observed the protein-induced structural changes of the amphiphilic …

The use of ion channel proteins has emerged in different applications to understand the
dynamics of many biological processes and characterize or detect biomolecules. As such …

The ability of cells to communicate and coordinate their activity is crucial to the development
and homeostatic function of all tissues. In addition to the well-established means of …
