Screening for D-amino-acid oxidase inhibitors

Qi et al., Analyst, 2012, 137, 4235

A team from China have been working on a capillary electrophoresis (CLE-CE) system for the enantioseparation of dansyl amino acids. Their method was tested on the inhibition efficiency of D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) inhibitors, which could pave a the way for high-throughput screening of enzyme inhibitors and relevant drug discovery.

A turn-on and reversible fluorescence sensor for zinc ion

Wu et al., Analyst, 2012, Advance Article

A new zinc sensor has been developed by a team working at the National Changhua University of Education and Chung Shan Medical University, Taiwan. Zinc is the second most abundant transition metal in the human body, and although it is considered to be relatively nontoxic, toxicity symptoms can occur with extremely high intake.
