Acid-induced and pH-controlled Reversible Switching of Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Activity

February 13, 2018
Author(s)
Yin Y. Nelson, Vytautas Reipa, Xiaohong Wang, Kenneth Mineart, Vivek M. Prabhu, Nancy J. Lin, Jirun Sun
Bacterial resistance to antimicrobials is threatening millions of human lives due to indiscriminate overuse and environmental build-up of antibiotics. We present the smart regulation of antibacterial activity in biologically relevant conditions to reduce

Using metagenomic methods to detect organismal contaminants in microbial materials.

September 12, 2017

Nathanael D. Olson, Justin M. Zook, Jayne B. Morrow, Nancy J. Lin
High sensitivity methods as next generation sequencing and PCR are adversely impacted by organismal and DNA contaminants. Current methods for detecting contaminants in microbial materials (genomic DNA and cultures) are not sensitive enough and require

Measurements of translation initiation from all 64 codons in E. coli

February 21, 2017
Author(s)
Ariel H. Hecht, Jeff E. Glasgow, Paul Jaschke, Lukmaan Bawazer, Matthew S. Munson, Jennifer R. Cochran, Drew Endy, Marc L. Salit
Our understanding of translation represents a cornerstone of molecular biology and underpins our capacity to engineer living matter. For decades, the codon AUG and a few near-cognates (GUG, UUG) have been exclusively considered as “start codons” for
