Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to novel compositions for the rapid and simple detection of the cleavage activity of catalytic molecules. The invention also provides diagnostic tests and kits employing these compositions. Background technique
[0002] Rapid, specific and cost-effective detection of health-related agents, whether markers of disease or health risks, markers or factors of normal and pathogenic processes or disease, or indicators of exotic pathogens and their by-products growing demand. With the repeated outbreaks of infectious diseases sweeping the world such as HIV, SARS, bird flu, West Nile fever, and drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria diseases, the above needs are made even more significant. Facing the threat of increasing epidemic and pandemic disease outbreaks, early detection of causative agents is crucial for adequate attention and prevention. However, the cost, complexity, and inefficiency of many currently available pathogen det...
