Serving as the basis of cell life, interactions between nucleic acids and proteins play
essential roles in fundamental cellular processes. Aptamers are unique single-stranded …

Background Food safety is a major global public health issue. The majority of traditional
culture-based methods have lengthy detection times, require sophisticated sample …

Researchers have worked for many decades to master the rules of biomolecular design that
would allow artificial biopolymer complexes to self-assemble and function similarly to the …

Hydrogels are crosslinked hydrophilic polymers that can absorb a large amount of water. By
their hydrophilic, biocompatible and highly tunable nature, hydrogels can be tailored for …

2. INTRODUCTION The investigation of many fundamental processes in life sciences
requires straightforward tools for fast, sensitive, reliable, and reproducible detection of …

Nucleic acid aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA of 20–100 nucleotides in length that
have attracted substantial scientific interest due to their ability to specifically bind to target …

Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that selectively bind to target molecules. Most
aptamers are obtained through a combinatorial biology technique called SELEX. Since …

In the present work, an aptasensing method based on integration of RNA on Cu-MOF was
developed for detection of C-Reactive Protein (CRP). Cu-MOF showed stimulated …

Inorganic colloidal nanoparticles are very small, nanoscale objects with inorganic cores that
are dispersed in a solvent. Depending on the material they consist of, nanoparticles can …

Nucleic acids are the foundation of life. Specific sequences translate certain genetic traits,
protein expression, and, ultimately, cellular function. Yet, nucleic acids not only store genetic …
