Erkennung, Bindung, Signalgebung: Funktionsmoleküle für Biosensoren

Diagnostics are essential for detecting infectious agents and the assessment of a disease. In the joint research project “The Lab in a Hankie — Impulse Centre for Integrated Bioanalysis” the complete integration of all necessary processing steps was intended. Work has been done on a new class of sensor-actor molecules integrating detection and signalling and being applicable to complex matrices. Defining binding parts, assembly on a polymer scaffold, enabling signal generation and amplification were central goals of this project.
