Abstract
This invention provides methods and systems for linking the functional activation of a responder molecule to the interaction of two or more binding ensemble members of interest either in vitro or in vivo, and thereby producing a signal, phenotype, or other functional output in response to the interaction of the binding ensemble members. The systems comprise a responder, an inhibitor of the responder, and an inhibitor of the inhibitor, or 'reactivator' of the responder, and interacting components. Two binding ensemble members are complexed to the other components of the system in such a way that interaction of the binding ensemble members, either directly or via additional ensemble members, causes a shift in the equilibrium of inhibitor binding from the responder to the reactivator, thereby functionally activating the responder.
