  • Publication number: 20220196642
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include engineered opioid biosensors, and related compositions, vectors, cells, and systems. Also disclosed include methods that provide opioid biosensors with sensitivity and selectivity suitable for continuous opioid monitoring as well as the use of the opioid biosensors for detecting one or more specific opioids. The opioid biosensors, which are capable of undergoing a detectable conformational change upon binding to an opioid, can each comprise a first periplasmic binding protein (PBP) domain and a second PBP domain connected to the first PBP domain, wherein at least one of the first PBP domain and the second PBP domain comprises one or more mutations.
