1. Identification of a pore-forming protein from sea anemone Anthopleura dowii Verrill (1869) venom by mass spectrometry
Abstract Background: Pore-forming proteins (PFP) are a class of toxins abundant in the venom of sea anemones. Owing to their ability to recognize and permeabilize cell membranes, pore-forming proteins have medical potential in cancer therapy or as biosensors. In the present study, we showed the partial purification and sequencing of a pore-forming protein f

2. Enzyme-based Colorimetric and Potentiometric Biosensor for Detecting Pb (II) Ions in Milk
The aim of the present work was to study a simple colorimetric and potentiometric biosensor based on urease inhibition by Pb (II) ions for its estimation in milk samples. Urease immobilized on nylon membrane by hydrosol gel method was used as the biocomponent to demonstrate the metal effect on the enzyme activity using phenol red as the pH indicator. A lower

3. Auto-organização no desenvolvimento de sensores, biossensores e modelos de membrana para aplicação em nanomedicina / Self-organization in the development of sensors, biosensors and membrane models for application in nanomedicine
Essa tese de doutoramento utiliza a auto-organização dos filmes finos layer-by-layer (LbL), auto-organização por alcanotióis mistas (SAMmix) e monocamada de Langmuir no desenvolvimento de dispositivos e novas metodologias para aplicações em nanomedicina. Foram desenvolvidos e aplicados biossensores utilizando as técnicas de LbL e SAM. Dentre os bioss

5. Development of membrane biosensors and characterization of the interactions between cytochrome c and hybrid bilayer membranes by Surface Plasmon Resonance / Desenvolvimento de biosensores de membranas e caracterização da interação entre citocromo c e bicamadas híbridas por ressonância plasmônica de superfície
The aim of this work was to develop membrane biosensors based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and to apply them to study the interactions between cytochrome c (cyt c) and model membranes. SPR is an optical technique that provides high-sensitivity measurements of refractive index (n), allowing the characterization of the adsorption and desorption of molecu

6. Rational combinatorial design of pore-forming β-sheet peptides
Exogenous polypeptides that self-assemble on biological membranes into pores are abundant and structurally diverse, functioning as transporters, toxins, ion channels, and antibiotics. A means for designing novel pore-forming sequences would unlock new opportunities for the development and engineering of protein function in membranes. Toward this goal, we des

7. A uniform extracellular stimulus triggers distinct cAMP signals in different compartments of a simple cell
cAMP, the classical second messenger, regulates many diverse cellular functions. The primary effector of cAMP signals, protein kinase A, differentially phosphorylates hundreds of cellular targets. Little is known, however, about the spatial and temporal nature of cAMP signals and their information content. Thus, it is largely unclear how cAMP, in response to

8. Rapid and sensitive pollutant detection by induction of heat shock gene-bioluminescence gene fusions.
Heat shock gene expression is induced by a variety of environmental stresses, including the presence of many chemicals. To address the utility of this response for pollutant detection, two Escherichia coli heat shock promoters, dnaK and grpE, were fused to the lux genes of Vibrio fischeri. Metals, solvents, crop protection chemicals, and other organic molecu

9. Mechanical characterization of biomimetic membranes by micro-shaft poking
The popularity of biomimetic membranes has recently increased due to their biomedical applications such as tissue engineering/regenerative medicine and biosensors. Characterization of the viscoelastic properties of these membranes is important in developing functional membranes. A new micro-shaft poking technique has been developed, which is free from the co

10. Bacterial Stress Responses to 1-Megahertz Pulsed Ultrasound in the Presence of Microbubbles
Members of a panel of stress-responsive biosensors have been used to study the effect of megahertz frequency ultrasound on Escherichia coli. Insonification causes acoustic cavitation, the collapse of oscillating microbubbles in solution, which can damage bacterial cells. A focused 1-MHz ultrasound transducer, capable of generating a spatial peak pulse averag

11. Spatially Distinct Binding of Cdc42 to PAK1 and N-WASP in Breast Carcinoma Cells†
While a significant amount is known about the biochemical signaling pathways of the Rho family GTPase Cdc42, a better understanding of how these signaling networks are coordinated in cells is required. In particular, the predominant subcellular sites where GTP-bound Cdc42 binds to its effectors, such as p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) and N-WASP, a homolog of

12. Connexin 30 Deficiency Impairs Renal Tubular ATP Release and Pressure Natriuresis
In the renal tubule, ATP is an important regulator of salt and water reabsorption, but the mechanism of ATP release is unknown. Several connexin (Cx) isoforms form mechanosensitive, ATP-permeable hemichannels. We localized Cx30 to the nonjunctional apical membrane of cells in the distal nephron and tested whether Cx30 participates in physiologically importan
