Engineering Protein Switches for Rapid Diagnostic Tests [PDF]
ACS Sensors, 2020 Biological signaling pathways are underpinned by protein switches that sense and respond to molecular inputs. Inspired by nature, engineered protein switches have been designed to directly transduce analyte binding into a quantitative signal in a simple, wash-free, homogeneous assay format.

Accuracy of four rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for human leptospirosis diagnosis in Indonesia
Microbiology SpectrumLeptospirosis is an endemic zoonotic disease with protean clinical manifestations caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the Leptospira genus. The microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is the gold standard for leptospirosis diagnosis and can only be ...
