Our paper describing the REverSe TRanscrIptase Chain Termination (RESTRICT) assay for measuring antiretroviral drug levels was recently published in ACS Sensors! The RESTRICT assay is inspired by the mechanism of action of antiretroviral drugs and infers drugs levels from the extent of DNA synthesis by HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme (see figure above). RESTRICT is a… Read more »

Abstract: Mitchell originally proposed that an asymmetric ion flux across an organism’s membrane could generate electric fields that drive locomotion. Although this locomotion mechanism was later rejected for some species of bacteria, engineered Janus particles have been realized that can swim due to ion fluxes generated by asymmetric electrochemical reactions. Here we present governing equations,… Read more »
