	Synthetic biology aims to understand design principles of natural circuits and to achieve novel functions using tools of engineering disciplines. The classic achievements are the construction of a synthetic oscillator and a toggle switch in E. coli. In vitro synthetic biology has emerged as a powerful platform for studying and harnessing biochemical processes independent from complex ancillary processes of cellular environment [1].

	The project will focus on demonstrating logical molecular circuits using aptamers in vitro. Students are expected to work on transcriptional regulatory circuits [3, 4] and plasmid constructs in cell-free systems --- a particular emphasis will be on developing protocols for aptamer-based regulation. The cell-free expression systems such as a reconstituted expression kit [5] would be tested as a platform to operate such circuits.

	Aptamers are promising gene components that can be used for the construction of synthetic gene circuits. A recently found 29-nucleotide aptamer for T7 RNAP showed 50% inhibition of transcription activity at nanomolar concentrations [2], indicating its potential as a tight regulator of power cycling in in vitro circuits.
