They coupled Elowitz and Leibler's cI-|lacI-|tetR-|cI repressilator and linked it to quorum-sensing molecules. The genetic circuit concept was that, in addition to repressing tetR, lacI would also repress the expression of luxI, which codes from protein AI, autoinducer, a quorum-sensing molecule that is diffusible across the membrane. The AI-LuxR complex would be engineered to activate expression of a second copy of another repressilator gene, like LacI. The result was synchronized oscillators. | |||

Quorum-sensing. The circuit encodes transcriptional activator LuxR and enzyme LuxI. LuxI catalyses synthesis of AI-1 which diffuses into media. At high density, AI-1 activates luxR which in turn upregulates luxI and luxR. This causes rapid state change. inv was fused with luxPr promoter downstream of luxI.
Application? Switch to turn on synthesis of a chemotherapeutic prodrug at tumor sites. Synthesis of antigens to act as vaccines. Gene delivery vector.

They created a biosensor of thrombin by attaching a thrombin DNA aptamer to a carbon nanotube via CDI-Tween. The successful binding of thrombin was indicated by a drop in conductance.
