| - | <p>An aptazyme is an allosteric ribozyme acting as a regulatory riboswitch. It self-splices in response to theophylline, a drug used to treat asthma and other chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases acting as a bronchodilator. This differs from caffeine by one methyl group and a nitrogen atom creating the structure seen below. This is not endogenous to the body therefore we used this element as a "kill switch" for our system.</p> | + | <!--<p>An aptazyme is an allosteric ribozyme acting as a regulatory riboswitch.
