Outline of Research at the Start |
Peptide as a promising molecular recognition element has gained intense interest for developing novel sensing devices. In this study, rational design of peptide based plasmonic biosensor for small molecules (volatile organic compounds biomarkers from cancer/disease and COVID-19) will be developed.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Small drug molecule, esculetin, are very important in adipose tissues, and regulates serum lipid profiles and shows potential anti-atherosclerosis benefits. In this stage, we use the computational design and molecular docking to simulate that the direct interaction between C/EBPβ and esculetin and conducted the research to clarify their reaction in vitro using optical sensor. These findings suggest that esculetin accelerates postprandial lipid circulation by binding to C/EBPβ and augmenting CD36-dependent phagocytosis in ATMs. The work was under review by Advanced Science. Furthermore, another novel designed peptide for TNT explosive was performed.
