Abstract
Glycated albumin (GA) is one of the proteins that replaces several sugar moieties and can be used as an indicator of diabetes mellitus. We developed a sensing system that uses GA in the early detection of diabetes mellitus. In this study, H6Y4C acetylated (Ac-) at the N-terminals of the peptide was combined with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) to recognize glucose moieties. The Ac-H6Y4C-WGA was constructed as a GA-sensing probe. The tyrosine residues of Y4C exhibited an oxidation peak, and His-tag moieties were introduced to separate Ac-H6Y4C-WGA in the synthesis of the probe. The Ac-H6Y4C-WGA probe binds with the 1-2 molecules of Ac-H6Y4C per WGA using matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF)-MS. Next, the functions of Ac-H6Y4C-WGA were evaluated using voltammetry. The number of electron-transfers was calculated based on the relationship between the peak potential and logarithm of scan rate and was 3.03. In the electrochemical measurements with mannose and bovine serum albumin, the peak currents were similar to that of GA alone. By contrast, a decrease in the peak current was suppressed when glucose was added to the solution containing the probe. As a result, Ac-H6Y4C-WGA was selectively bound to the glucose moieties of GA. The calibration curve via differential pulse voltammetry was proportional to the concentrations of GA and ranged from 1.0 × 10-12 to 2.0 × 10-11 M with a detection limit of 3.3 × 10-13 M.

Abstract
The haem group is a promising redox probe for the design of albumin-based voltammetric sensors. Among the endogenous ligands carried by human serum albumin (hSA), haem is characterised by a reversible redox behaviour and its binding kinetics strongly depend on hSA's conformation, which, in turn, depends on the presence of other ligands. In this work, the potential applicability of haem, especially hemin, as a redox probe was first tested in a proof-of-concept study using perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as model analyte. PFOA is known to bind hSA by occupying Sudlow's I site (FA7) which is spatially related to the haem-binding site (FA1). The latter undergoes a conformational change, which is expected to affect hemin's binding kinetics. To verify this hypothesis, hemin:albumin complexes in the presence/absence of PFOA were first screened by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Once the complex formation was verified, haem was further characterised via electrochemical methods to estimate its electron transfer kinetics. The hemin:albumin:PFOA system was studied in solution, with the aim of describing the multiple equilibria at stake and designing an electrochemical assay for PFOA monitoring. This latter could be integrated with protein-based bioremediation approaches for the treatment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances polluted waters. Overall, our preliminary results show how hemin can be applied as a redox probe in albumin-based voltammetric sensing strategies.

Abstract
In recent years, the increasing incidence and mortality of cancer have inspired the development of accurate and rapid early diagnosis methods in order to successfully cure cancer; however, conventional methods used for detecting tumor cells, including histopathological and immunological methods, often involve complex operation processes, high analytical costs, and high false positive rates, in addition to requiring experienced personnel. With the rapid emergence of sensing techniques, electrochemical cytosensors have attracted wide attention in the field of tumor cell detection because of their advantages, such as their high sensitivity, simple equipment, and low cost. These cytosensors are not only able to differentiate tumor cells from normal cells, but can also allow targeted protein detection of tumor cells. In this review, the research achievements of various electrochemical cytosensors for tumor cell detection reported in the past five years are reviewed, including the structures, detection ranges, and detection limits of the cytosensors. Certain trends and prospects related to the electrochemical cytosensors are also discussed.

Abstract
We used an electron-transfer carbohydrate-mimetic peptide (YYYYC) to construct an electrochemical cytosensing system. Magnetic beads were modified with either asialofetuin (ASF) or soybean agglutinin (SBA) to evaluate the effect on cell sensing. Because SBA binds to the galactose residue that exists at the terminals of the carbohydrate chains in ASF, the target protein was accumulated on the protein magnetic beads. SBA is an example of N-acetylgalactosamine- and galactose-binding proteins that readily combine with YYYYC. When the peptides and protein-immobilized beads competed for a target protein, the peak current of the peptides changed according to the concentration of the protein at the 10-12 M level. Next, human myeloid leukemia cells (K562 cell) were measured using the peptide and the carbohydrate chains on the cell surface that recognize SBA. The electrode response was linear to the number of K562 cells and ranged from 1.0 × 102 to 5.0 × 103 cells mL-1. In addition, detection of a human liver cancer cell (HepG2 cell) was carried out using interactions with the peptide, the ASF receptors in HepG2 cells, and the carbohydrate chains of ASF. The peak currents were proportional and ranged between 5.0 × 101 and 1.5 × 103 cells mL-1. When the values estimated from an electrochemical process were compared with those obtained by ELISA, the results were within the acceptable range of measurement error.

Abstract
For use in the voltammetric sensing of galactose-dependent proteins, we modified magnetic beads with a peptide that had both electroactive- and molecular recognition properties. The peptide consisted of a YXY sequence and behaved as an electron-transfer carbohydrate-mimetic peptide that would combine with proteins. With this tool, the protein could be detected via a label-free system. We synthesized several penta- and hexa-peptides with a cysteine residue on the C-terminals to examine the properties of peptides. These peptides contained amino acid residues (X) of alanine, serine, or tyrosine. The peptides were immobilized on magnetic beads via N-(8-maleimidocapryloxy) succinimide. Soybean agglutinin(SBA), the in vivo function of which has been well established in animals, was selected as a model protein. The protein was detected via the changes in electrode response due to the oxidation of tyrosine residues from the phenol group to quinone. As a result, SBA was selectively accumulated on the beads modified with YYYYC. The calibration curve of SBA was linear and ranged from 2.5 × 10-12 to 1.0 × 10-10 M. With this system, SBA was recovered in human serum at values that ranged from 98 to 103%. Furthermore, the beads with peptides were regenerated five times using a protein denaturant. Accordingly, this electrochemical system was simple and could be rapidly applied to the detection of galactose-recognition proteins.

Abstract
A carbohydrate/electro-transfer peptide probe was fabricated to perform cell sensing. The probe consisted of a cello-oligosaccharide that was created by the conjugation of an electron-transfer peptide (Y5C) and a carbohydrate via a Schiff base. An oxidation wave due to a phenolic hydroxyl group was obtained by scanning with a glassy carbon electrode. This cell-sensing system was based on a competitive reaction between carbohydrates on a cell surface and the probe as each reacted to a protein that recognized the carbohydrate. When amounts of the protein and probe were constant, the peak current of the probe was changed as the number of cells increased. A human histocytic lymphoma cell (U937 cell) with carbohydrates such as glucose and N-acetylglucosamine on its surface was selected as the target cell. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) binded to both the probe and the carbohydrates on U937 cells, which resulted in a linear peak current of the cellobiose/electron-transfer peptide at concentrations that ranged from 100 to 3500 cells/ml. The values of the cell sensing using this electrochemical method were consistent with those established via ELSIA. The sensitivity of this procedure, however, was two-fold superior to that of ELISA. Consequently, this carbohydrate/electron-transfer peptide could be a powerful tool for cell sensing and searching for carbohydrate chains on a cell surface.
