Abstract excerpt
The trans cleavage activity of Cas12a has been extensively used for the detection of biomolecules. Different Cas12a orthologues exhibit faster or slower trans cleavage kinetics, making some orthologues more suited for sensitive molecular detection. Ionic strength of reaction buffers and mutations that change the electrostatic environment near the RuvC active site have also been reported to strongly influence...
