When the first preligand is added to bacteria that express the aptamer, introducing hydrogen peroxide makes the cells light up, the researchers found. Izgu says that his team is working on more ...

RNA aptamers and lipopeptides. New drug strategies to treat resistant pathogens include eliciting growth in dormant bacteria, or a new way to attack efflux systems. Typical approaches from ...

Aptamers are not only highly suitable receptors for the selective and high-proficiency detection of a wide range of molecular targets, including bacteria, they have also shown to self-assemble on ...

have now identified a herbicide-responsive riboswitch that can be used to control motility, allowing bacteria to migrate ... for RNA sequences (known as aptamers) that can tightly and specifically ...
