Journal ArticleDOI

Single-Molecule enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detects serum proteins at subfemtomolar concentrations

TL;DR: The authors' single-molecule enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (digital ELISA) approach detected as few as ∼10–20 enzyme-labeled complexes in 100 μl of sample and routinely allowed detection of clinically relevant proteins in serum at concentrations much lower than conventional ELISA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-reactive chemical sensor arrays.

TL;DR: Conventional approaches to chemical sensors have traditionally made use of a “lock-and-key” design, wherein a specific receptor is synthesized in order to strongly and highly selectively bind the analyte of interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic consequences of promoter-mediated transcriptional noise.

TL;DR: It is shown that increased variability in gene expression, affected by the sequence of the TATA box, can be beneficial after an acute change in environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

How many human proteoforms are there

Ruedi Aebersold, +53 more
TL;DR: This work frames central issues regarding determination of protein-level variation and PTMs, including some paradoxes present in the field today, and uses this framework to assess existing data and ask the question, "How many distinct primary structures of proteins (proteoforms) are created from the 20,300 human genes?"
Journal ArticleDOI

Randomly Ordered Addressable High-Density Optical Sensor Arrays

TL;DR: A new approach for array fabrication where the identity of each sensor is ascertained and registered on the detector using encoding schemes, rather than by a predetermined location in the array.
