Since the first introduction of a synthetic polyphenol called polydopamine, both it and its
derivatives have received significant attention from material scientists owing to their unique …

Cathepsin B has been suggested to be a prognostic marker of melanoma, glioma, and a
variety of cancers such as brain, breast, colon, esophageal, gastric, lung, ovarian, and …

The aromatic amino acids tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine are targets for oxidation
during food processing. We investigated whether S. cerevisiae can use nonproteinogenic …

N, N′-diBoc-dityrosine (DBDY), which was synthesized by the oxidative C–C coupling of 2
N-Boc-l-tyrosine molecules, was conjugated with two isoniazid (INH) molecules. Due to the …

Dityrosine (DY), which is fluorescent and biocompatible, has multiple functional groups,
including two amine and two carboxylic acid groups. By conjugating PEG arms to DY, we …

The increasing number of reports for disease-related proteases has necessitated materials
for the fast, sensitive, and specific assessment of protease activities. The purpose of this …

A covalently crosslinked silk fibroin hydrogel (ChemSF) was successfully formed via an
enzymatic crosslinking reaction using chemoenzymatically synthesized copolypeptides [poly …

Thermolysin family proteases are related to various diseases such as bacterial infections,
cholera, gastritis and peptic ulcers, and gastric carcinoma. Hence, assay materials capable …
