Enzyme-complemented activatorsorbent assay (ECASA): genetic engineering for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-type mercuric ion detection.

Analytical biochemistry - 1 Jul 1998

Klein J, Mattes R

Abstract excerpt

The sensor component of bacterial mercury resistance systems is the metalloregulatory protein MerR, which has nanomolar sensitivity and high selectivity for Hg(II). A fusion protein of MerR and the alpha-peptide part of beta-galactosidase (LacZalpha) was constructed by fusing the relevant genes. The protein exhibited both MerR functions and alpha-complementing activity to the inactive LacZDeltaM15 (M15) protein....
