Aptamers are short oligonucleotides isolated in vitro from randomized libraries that can bind
to specific molecules with high affinity, and offer a number of advantages relative to …

Aptamers are short single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides isolated from randomized
libraries, presenting high affinity and specificity toward targets with similar to antibodies …

Over the last three decades, numerous aptamer-based biosensors have been reported. The
basis of these sensors is the selective binding of target analytes by aptamers. In the last few …

Tetracyclines are a group of important antibiotics with a common four-ring scaffold. While
most tetracyclines are currently used only in animals, their leaching into the environment …

For many years, different probing techniques have mainly relied on antibodies for molecular
recognition. However, with the discovery of aptamers, this has changed. The science …

Aptamers are nucleic acid-based affinity reagents that have gained widespread attention as
biorecognition elements for the detection of targets such as ions, small molecules, and …

It has been almost 30 years since the invention of Systematic Evolution of Ligands by
Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) methodology and the description of the first aptamers. In …

With the growing consumption of caffeine-containing beverages, detection of caffeine has
become an important biomedical, bioanalytical, and environmental topic. We herein isolated …

Since the report of the RNA aptamer for theophylline, theophylline has become a key
molecule in chemical biology for designing RNA switches and riboswitches. In addition …
