Small but prospective: development of enzyme-responsive small molecule fluorescent probes for specific bacterial imaging by Yan, Evelias Hui Xin

“…Among the numerous types of small-molecule fluorescence probes, the enzymatic responsive probes have been one that researchers are particularly interested in as such probes were reported to possess great specificity and high signal to noise ratio. Furthermore, bacterial enzymes are found to be closely related to the invasion of host immune system, which makes them a viable target to establish enzyme-activated fluorescent probes for specific bacterial imaging. …”

Strain-specific parallel evolution drives short-term diversification during Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation by McElroy, Kerensa E., Hui, Janice G. K., Woo, Jerry K. K., Luk, Alison W. S., Webb, Jeremy S., Kjelleberg, Staffan, Rice, Scott A., Thomas, Torsten

“…Mutations were found to be strain specific: the mucoid strain 18A experienced mutations in alginate production genes and a c-di-GMP regulator gene; while PA01 acquired mutations in PilT and PilY1, possibly in response to a rapid expansion of a lytic Pf4 bacteriophage, which may use type IV pili for infection. …”

Discovery of glucose-specific, peptide-based carbohydrate mimics using phage displayed random peptide libraries. by Yu, Limin.

“…Phage displayed random peptide libraries were used to discover peptides which functionally mimic the monosaccharide glucose by screening these libraries against glucose-specific lectins. Although the screening of phage display libraries against single lectins has been previously reported, debate exists whether the resulting peptides are indeed true sugar mimics or merely act as ligands for the targeted lectin. …”
