Optical biosensing based on the activation of fluorescent reporters offers a powerful methodology for the real-time molecular interrogation of pathology. Here we report a first-in-class, bimodal fluorescent reporter strategy for the simultaneous and highly specific detection of two independent proteases (thrombin and matrix metalloproteases (MMPs)) pivotal in the fibroproliferative process surrounding lung cancer, based on a dual, multiplexing, peptide FRET system. This sophisticated synthetic smartprobe, with a molecular weight of 6 kDa, contains two independent fluorophores and quenchers that generate photonic signatures at two specific wavelengths upon activation by target enzymes within human lung cancer tissue.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
