Enzyme inhibition-enabled CRISPR/Cas12a biosensing system for heparin-related non-nucleic acid biomarkers
Abstract
Different from conventional CRISPR/Cas12a systems that must employ sophisticated functional nucleic acids, protein switch or allosteric transcription factors (aTFs)-based signal conversion for non-nucleic acid analysis, this work realizes more facile non-nucleic acid biomarker quantification through a new heparin-mediated Cas12a inhibition route.
