*Sub-headline: * Researchers propose a new way for signal-amplification of
chemosensors by flexibly manipulating an allosteric trigger
(Tokyo, June 19) Chemical sensors whose signals can be amplified by various
triggers hold huge potential in multidisciplinary sciences. However,
developing such systems was considered a highly challenging task, until a
team of researchers from Tokyo Tech recently came up with a novel
signal-amplification system that can be flexibly manipulated by a dynamic
allosteric effector or a trigger. This new chemosensor system exhibited
exception signal amplification by altering the sumanene monomer
concentrations.
