Incorporation of Gramicidin ion-channel Cations e.g. K+ tBLM with Gramicidin Gold
Cornell´s biosensor Streptavidin Biotin Tethered membrane-spanning lipids B.A. Cornell et al., 1997, Nature 387: 580-583
Valinomycin based biosensor • Advantages: • easy synthesis on a multi-milligram scale • very specific to potassium • no tethered membrane-spanning lipids necessary • no anchorage on the surface necessary
Valinomycin Ester carbonyls are turned inwards, forming 6 ion-dipole bonds with a centrally situated cation. Modification on the backbone of the dodecadepsipeptide leads to the lost of complexing properties. Exchange in the amino acid sequence Shemyakin et al., 1974, FEBS Letters44: 1-21
Lysine-modified Valinomycin Exchange of one L-Valin by an L-Lysine possibility to bind e.g. biotin to valinomycin The synthesis is described on my poster.
