Novel Biosensors based on Mining Bacterial Transcription Factors
ABSTRACT The lack of biosensors fundamentally limits the reach of engineering into biology. The need to sense and measure biochemicals is central to applications spanning healthcare, biotechnology, drug development, environmental management, agriculture, food and water safety, consumer technology. Hormone measurements, in particular, are essential to fertility planning and assisted reproductive technologies; one million women in the U.S. suffer from infertility and another 7.5 million women suffer from decreased fertility. Quantitative measures of hormone levels are also critical to the diagnosis, management, and treatment of endocrine disorders and hormone imbalances that affect up to 20%…
