Protein arrays are systematically arranged, large collections of annotated proteins on planar surfaces commonly used for the characterisation of protein binding events against a wide range of possible probes. These may include analyses of protein-protein, peptide-protein, enzyme-substrate or antibody-antigen…

Large-scale de novo nucleic acid synthesis is a powerful tool enabling researchers to better understand and engineer biological systems. Fields ranging from genomics to nucleic acid therapeutics to synthetic biology make use of high-throughput experimental approaches requiring access to large pools or libraries of DNA…

Biosensing or diagnostics using glycan sequences as targets is limited by glycan cross-reactivities. As binding sites of different proteins that all recognise a given glycan will not be identical, we introduce application of a library of synthetic analogues of a single glycan ligand as a powerful approach to obtain…

Microarrays are widely used for detecting target analytes and biomarkers, with fabrication methods ranging from non-contact to contact bioprinting techniques. Microcontact bioprinting (μCP), which utilizes elastomeric stamps to transfer biorecognition molecules (bioinks) onto substrates, offers advantages such as…

Fluorogenic hybridization probes allow the detection and localization of specific mRNA molecules in living cells without the need for genetic engineering. However, with the fluorescence properties of currently available oligonucleotide probes, detection in live cells is difficult when the mRNA target is expressed at…

Molecular mechanisms governing initiation steps of the assembly of thousands of endogenous multi-protein complexes (EMCs) remain incompletely understood. Here, multiple lines of observations are reported reflecting the biological functions-aligned initiation sequence of hybrid assembly pathways (HAPs) of EMCs. HAPs…

Efficient delivery of DNA, RNA, and genome engineering machinery to plant cells will enable efforts to genetically modify plants for global food security, sustainable energy production, synthetic biology applications, and climate change resilience. For the delivery of functional genetic units into plant cells, charged…

Microginins are a large family of cyanobacterial lipopeptide protease inhibitors. A hybrid polyketide synthase (PKS)/non-ribosomoal peptide synthetase (NRPS) biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) found in several microginin-producing strains – mic – was proposed to encode the production of microginins, based on bioinformatic…

Cell-free expression of a gene to protein has become a vital tool in nanotechnology and synthetic biology. Remote-control of cell-free systems with multiple, orthogonal wavelengths of light would enable precise, non-invasive modulation, opening many new applications in biology and medicine. While there has been success…
