Nucleic-Acid-Binding Chromophores as Efficient Indicators of Aptamer-Target Interactions
The binding affinity and specificity of nucleic acid aptamers have made them valuable candidates for use as sensors in diagnostic applications. In particular, chromophore-functionalized aptamers offer a relatively simple format for detection and quantification of target molecules. We describe the us...
