The Fluorescein binding Anticalin FluA
There are a broad range of natural as well as engineered binding proteins availible. The most commonly known binding proteins are antibodies which defend mammals against pathogens and toxins. Beside these natural binding proteins there are more and more designed binding proteins such as (1) Anticalins based on a lipocalin scaffold [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10051566 Beste et al., 1999], [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16307475 Vopel et al., 2005]], (2) Affibodies derived from the z-domain of the antibody-binding protein A (Ref) and (3) DARPins that are based on an ankyrin scaffold. [...] reshaping of the binding pocket by amino acid substitutions to bind different ligand. Bilin-binding-protein binding bilin was reshaped to bind fluorescein. Idea is to apply technologies developed for the red biotechnology for medical purposes in the context of bioremediation.Possiblity ot develop binding proteins against nearly all chemical structures with comparabale size. Created trangenic moss PF-15 with the fluorescein binding anticalin fluA on the extracellular part of the receptor.

Glutathione S-transferase
- General principle of glutathion conjugation
- Trap mechanism: chemical compound is much more soluble after conjugation and becomes transported into the vacuole.
