TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the kinetics of single-turnover target and multi-turnoff trans-nuclease activities of both enzymes and showed that these enzymes are kinetically adapted to play distinct roles in bacterial adaptive immunity and show how kinetic analysis can be applied to CRISPR-based diagnostics.

Electrochemical biosensor for nucleic acid amplification-free and sensitive detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA via CRISPR/Cas13a trans-cleavage reaction

TL;DR: In this article , an electrochemical biosensor based on the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas13a was developed for rapid, sensitive, and nucleic acid-amplification-free detection of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Enzyme Kinetics and Detector Sensitivity Determine Limits of Detection of Amplification-Free CRISPR-Cas12 and CRISPR-Cas13 Diagnostics.

TL;DR: The results suggest that successful detection of target requires cleavage of at least 0.1% of the fluorescent reporter molecules, and demonstrate the fundamental nature by which kinetic rates and background signal limit LoDs and thus highlight areas of improvement for the emerging field of CRISPR diagnostics.

Cpf1 is a single RNA-guided endonuclease of a class 2 CRISPR-Cas system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized Cpf1, a putative class 2 CRISPR effector, which is a single RNA-guided endonuclease lacking tracrRNA and utilizes a T-rich protospacer-adjacent motif.

CRISPR-Cas12a target binding unleashes indiscriminate single-stranded DNase activity

TL;DR: It is shown that RNA-guided DNA binding unleashes indiscriminate single-stranded DNA cleavage activity by Cas12a that completely degrades ssDNA molecules, which is also a property of other type V CRISPR-Cas12 enzymes.

DNA interrogation by the CRISPR RNA-guided endonuclease Cas9

TL;DR: It is shown that both binding and cleavage of DNA by Cas9–RNA require recognition of a short trinucleotide protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and that PAM interactions trigger Cas9 catalytic activity.
