Solid Phase Biosensors for Arsenic or Cadmium Composed of A trans Factor and cis Element Complex

The presence of toxic metals in drinking water has hazardous effects on human health. This study was conducted to develop GFP-based-metal-binding biosensors for on-site assay of toxic metal ions. GFP-tagged ArsR and CadC proteins bound to a cis element, and lost the capability of binding to it in th...
