Hypochlorous acid, an aggressive oxidant, is important in immune defense against pathogens. The current lack of tools to monitor the dynamics of hypochlorous acid in live cells and tissue hinders a better understanding of inflammatory processes. We engineered a genetically encoded biosensor, Hypocrates, for the visualization of hypochlorous acid. Hypocrates consists of a circularly permuted yellow fluorescent protein integrated into the structure of the transcription repressor NemR from E. coli. We determined sensitivity, selectivity, reaction rates, and the X-ray structure of this ratiometric redox biosensor, and tested the response of Hypocrates in HeLa Kyoto cells at varying hypochlorite concentrations. By combining Hypocrates with the biosensor HyperRed, we visualized the dynamics of hypochlorous acid and hydrogen peroxide in a zebrafish tail fin injury model.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
