Transducer Mechanism: Enzyme-Linked Receptors

Transducer Mechanism: Enzyme-Linked Receptors

Enzyme-linked receptors are cell-surface receptors acting as an enzyme or associating with an enzyme intracellularly. They make excellent drug targets. Drugs can bind to the extracellular ligand-binding domain or directly affect their enzymatic domain and alter their activity.
Major types that are helpful drug targets include:

Background:

Eutectic gels are promising conductive polymers for wearable electronics.
Developing ultra-stretchable and self-adhesive gels for flexible sensors remains a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To prepare a lignin-enabled ultra-stretchable eutectic gel (LEG) with self-adhesion and high conductivity.
To explore the potential of LEG in multifunctional flexible sensors.

Main Methods:

Utilizing polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDES) treated lignin.
In-situ polymerization to create polyacrylic acid (PAA) networks with lignin as dynamic crosslinking points via hydrogen bonds.
Characterizing the gel's stretchability, self-adhesion, and conductivity.

Main Results:

The LEG achieved ultra-stretchability of approximately 4845% due to dynamic hydrogen bond interactions.
Lignin's phenol groups provided robust self-adhesion to various substrates.
The LEG-based wearable strain sensors exhibited high sensitivity, fast response, and stability.
