Description
The riboswitch changes conformation depending on the presence of theophylline. In the absence of theophylline, the switch prevents the binding of the mRNA to the ribosome whilst in the presence of said chemical, the conformation changes and the mRNA behind the switch can then be expressed.
Notes
After sequence information was acquired for the switch from Topp and Gallivan (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 129, p 6865-6873), part was created with required prefix and suffix sequences by gene synthesis (by company XX)
