Article Abstract
Genetically encoded protein biosensors controlled by small organic molecules are valuable tools for many biotechnology applications, including control of cellular decisions in living cells. Here, we review recent advances in protein biosensor design and engineering for binding to novel ligands. We categorize sensor architecture as either integrated or portable, where portable biosensors uncouple molecular recognition from signal transduction. Proposed advances to improve portable biosensor development include standardizing a limited set of protein scaffolds, and automating ligand-compatibility screening and ligand-protein-interface design.

Patients' sense of safety and well-being may be affected in numerous ways while being cared for in hospitals. Often, feelings of alienation arise, as private spaces like the home are inaccessible. One aspect that impacts patients' safety and well-being is the design of the physical care environment.

Synthetic dyes, such as Congo red (CR), pose serious threats to human health and aquatic ecosystems because of their carcinogenicity and resistance to degradation, necessitating the development of efficient and eco-friendly remediation strategies. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized via a green method using Ocimum sanctum (holy basil) leaf extract and applied for CR dye removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design (BBD), evaluating the influence of key parameters including pH, AgNP dosage, initial dye concentration, contact time, and temperature.

Objective: A fundamental understanding of drug diffusion and binding processes is critical for the design and optimization of a wide variety of drug delivery devices. Most of the past literature assume binding to occur uniformly throughout the tissue, or, at best, in specific layers of a multilayer tissue. However, in many realistic scenarios, such as in cancer-targeting drugs, drug binding occurs in discrete irregularly shaped regions.
