Development of Suprasensors and Assays for Molecular Diagnostics
SupraSense combines completely new strategies to design and realize biomimetic artificial receptors for bioactive small molecules, i.e. metabolites, with the aim of overcoming long-standing selectivity and sensitivity limitations that hindered other synthetic sensory systems from reaching diagnostic applications. Sophisticated yet easy to fabricate “SupraSensors” will be developed based on unprecedented hybrid zeolitic materials whose binding cavities are modulated by peptide-based cofactors, thereby mimicking enzyme pockets. SupraSensors will be functional and directly applicable for molecular diagnostics in urine, saliva, and blood and will be of utility in point-of-care units and…
