Biosensor libraries harness large classes of binding domains for construction of allosteric transcriptional regulators
Bacterially encoded environmental sensor proteins are potentially a rich source of transcriptional control but only a few have been harnessed for biotechnological applications. Here the authors develop a general strategy for designing custom-made monogenic synthetic sensors and validate the approach...

| Summary: | Bacterially encoded environmental sensor proteins are potentially a rich source of transcriptional control but only a few have been harnessed for biotechnological applications. Here the authors develop a general strategy for designing custom-made monogenic synthetic sensors and validate the approach by designing two sense-and-respond regulators for benzoate. |
