Electrochemical sensors are essential for point-of-care testing (POCT) and wearable sensing devices. Establishing an efficient electron transfer route between redox enzymes and electrodes is key for converting enzyme-catalyzed reactions into electrochemical signals, and for the development of robust, sensitive, and selective biosensors. We demonstrate that the site-specific incorporation of a novel synthetic amino acid (2-amino-3-(4-mercaptophenyl)propanoic acid) into redox enzymes, followed by an S-click reaction to wire the enzyme to the electrode, facilitates electron transfer. The fabricated biosensor demonstrated real-time and selective monitoring of tryptophan (Trp) in blood and sweat samples, with a linear range of 0.02–0.8 mm. Further developments along this route may result in dramatic expansion of portable electrochemical sensors for diverse health-determination molecules.

In this phase of structure-affinity relationship study of VL-0395, a new anthranilic acid based CCK1 selective antagonist, we propose a series of unnatural aminoacidic derivatives. The result of this work is the identification of a new CCK ligand, which possesses an affinity (IC50 = 35 nm) one order of magnitude greater than the lead and, as a general rule, it points out how the hypothesized receptorial pocket which accommodates the Phe residue allows much more structural modification than that interacting with the N-terminal group. Hence, the modification of the C-terminal pharmacophoric group of our lead VL-0395 can not only enhance the affinity of anthranilic acid derivatives but can modulate the selectivity for one CCK receptor subtype or afford mixed antagonists.
