The paper develops a biosensor platform using monomeric streptavidin to evaluate binding domains for small molecules and proteins, demonstrating ligand-dependent activation with biotinylated targets.

This paper develops high-throughput assays for lanthanide-binding proteins using β-lactamase-based biosensors with single ion-binding sites, enabling in vitro and in vivo testing of Ln selectivity and survival.

The paper investigates tRNA's role in codon selection using split-tRNA, showing that tRNA strain is not essential for GTP hydrolysis and that codon-anticodon stability is influenced by nucleobase dipole moments.
