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 ...

The mechanistic understanding of how membrane-embedded sensor kinases recognize signals and regulate kinase activity is currently limited. Here we report structure-function relationships of the ...

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 ...

In order to cause disease, the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus must adapt to the changing host environment. Many of these adaptations are mediated through two-component signal transduction ...
