title: Cell-like systems with riboswitch controlled gene expression.
abstract: Synthetic riboswitches can be used to control protein expression under fully defined conditions in vitro, in water-in-oil emulsions, and in vesicles. The developed system could serve as a foundation for the construction of cellular mimics that respond to molecules of our choosing.
