TL;DR: The label-free detection of vancomycin binding to bacterial cell wall precursor analogues (mucopeptides) on cantilever arrays is reported, with 10 nM sensitivity and at clinically relevant concentrations in blood serum, placing BioMEMS devices in a new class of percolative systems.

TL;DR: The direct integration between an ensemble of DNA motors and an array of microfabricated silicon cantilevers is reported, finding the surface-tethered conformational change was found to be highly reversible, in contrast to classical DNA motors which typically suffer rapid system poisoning.
