Improved theophylline biosensor
An improved aptazyme responsing to theophylline, which means its self-cleaving activity can be inhibited by adding theophylline. This aptazyme shows higher sensibility than an existing part (BBa_J119449).

By introducing mutations in loop Ⅰ and loop Ⅱ[1], we achieved an aptazyme with higher responsing fold and less leakage under high theophylline concentration (Fig.1).
To further quantify the outcome of our engineering, we used a lower concentration gradient. Our aptazyme exhibits a 2-fold change of cleavage proportion at ~1mg/ml (0.125x dilution of saturated solution at room temperature) while the origin apatazyme (BBa_J119449) shows only 1.3-fold change (Fig.2).
