Peptide-templated gold nanoparticle nanosensor for simultaneous detection of multiple posttranslational modification enzymes†
Abstract
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.
