Fluorescent techniques have revolutionized biochemical research over the last 20 years. Because they have characteristics of high sensitivity, selectivity, fast response time, flexibility and experimental simplicity, the use of fluorescent techniques in biological research is very widespread. In many cases, biological sensors consist of fluorescent versions of a particular protein (Fig. 2).
There are different distances between different fluorophores that affect the fluorescent signal. An interesting strategy for the synthesis of sensors involves the application to peptides of the molecular beacon concept that was developed in the field of nucleic acid sensors. The development of peptide-based sensors over the last two decades has been spectacular: FRET effects or environment sensitive fluorophores provide reliable design strategies that can be safely implemented to study virtually any biological interaction with minimal effort. The large number of commercially available fluorophores, many of them in the form of activated species ready for derivatization, has simplified the synthetic effort required to obtain the modified peptides and increased the flexibility of the designs. Given the increasing interest in the development of chemical tools for biological research, the importance of these peptide probes is only expected to grow.
