         As aptamer-based riboswitches are the most promising regulatory element to couple the PACE/PREDCEL selection system to the intracellular level of a small molecule, the availbability of suitable aptamers is the limiting factor for enzyme PACE/PREDCEL experiments. The state of the art method to generate aptamers and riboswitches is based on the in vitro selection of sequences from a random oligonucleotide library using the SELEX method. This requires the establishment of suitable protocols and can be labor and cost intensive. Therefore the 2015 iGEM Heidelberg team developed a aptamer design tool called MAWS (Making Aptamers Without SELEX) which tries to predict aptamers by progressive selection of appropriate bases using an entropic criterion.
