Sensing Peptides Mechanical: Shear Horizontal-SAW (SH-SAW) biosensors will detect enzymes in an aqueous solution. This device will detect a change in wave propagation speed as the targeted enzyme in solution cleaves a specific peptide-construct, vastly increasing specificity. Optical: Additionally, labeled peptide-constructs can be immobilized to gold nanoparticles, which effectively quenches fluorescence. Upon interactions with target enzymes, the peptide is cleaved and fluorescence is enhanced.
