The paper introduces a modified T7 RNA polymerase promoter, T7Max, that enhances transcription and translation yields in cell-free systems by increasing transcript concentration.

This paper demonstrates a DNA nanodevice that switches between catalytic and non-catalytic electron transfer states using a chaotropic ion.

This paper introduces Apta-NASBA, a method for highly specific, multiplexed pathogen detection using fluorescent aptamers, achieving a 1 pM detection limit and compatible with various detection platforms.
