Venus flytrap bio-sensors to snare pollutant

[The Eternal Flame 465]

Nov 19, 2019 The biological sensors change color once they have successfully snared a target molecule, and will soon have a host of important environmental, medical and security applications.

 

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have created a suite of new biological sensors by chemically re-engineering pigments to act like tiny Venus flytraps. The sensors are able to detect and grab specific molecules, such as pollutants, and will soon have a host of important environmental, medical and security applications.
