Phosphorothioate-Enabled Cas12a Autocatalytic Network for Amplification-Free Ultrasensitive Nucleic Acid Detection.
Autocatalytic CRISPR/Cas systems offer a promising route toward amplification-free nucleic acid detection, yet their performance is limited by indiscriminate transcleavage of ssDNA activators and the reliance on structurally complex, thermodynamically unstable DNA architectures. A phosphorothioate (PS)-enabled Cas12a a...
