Rice University scientists who say biological sensors aren't sensitive enough are doing something about it. The lab of synthetic biologist Jeffrey Tabor has introduced a new technique to dial up or ...

Two-component signal transduction systems (TCS) are fundamental to the ability of bacteria and certain lower eukaryotes to sense and respond to environmental changes. Typically composed of a sensor ...

In genetic sensor research, precision and sensitivity remain challenges. Against this backdrop, researchers now leveraged synthetic biology, high-throughput assays, and bioinformatics to enhance ...

Scientists have revealed new information on how red light-regulated histidine kinases function. According to the study, altering of the length of a specific 'linker helix' region of the protein can ...
