DNA aptamer against EV-A71 VP1 protein: selection and application

Virology Journal, 2021
Background Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) is a highly infectious pathogen associated with hand, foot and mouth disease, herpangina, and various neurological complications, so it is important for the early detection and treatment of EV-A71.

Novel Design of RNA Aptamers as Cancer Inhibitors and Diagnosis Targeting the Tyrosine Kinase Domain of the NT-3 Growth Factor Receptor Using a Computational Sequence-Based Approach

Molecules, 2022
Aptamers, the nucleic acid analogs of antibodies, bind to their target molecules with remarkable specificity and sensitivity, making them promising diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) is

Aptamers and Cancer

Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Biology, 2016
Oligonucleotides Aptamers are single strands of DNA and RNA with the length of 20-100 nucleotides or peptides and unique three dimensional structure that is affected by nucleotide sequence. The structure exclusively influences aptamers’ bindings with its

A novel artificial intelligence-based approach for identification of deoxynucleotide aptamers.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2021
The selection of a DNA aptamer through the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX) method involves multiple binding steps, in which a target and a library of randomized DNA sequences are mixed for selection of a single ...

Analysis of interaction between RNA aptamer and protein using nucleotide analogs [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Symposium Series, 2000
Non-structural protein 3 (NS3) derived from Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is essential for viral proliferation and has two functional domains; trypsin-like serine protease and helicase. Recently we obtained three types of RNA aptamers (G9-I, -II and -III) bound to NS3 protease domain (delta NS3) by in vitro selection and confirmed their strong inhibition for

Thrombin binding aptamer G-quadruplex stabilized by pyrene-modified nucleotides

Nucleic Acids Research, 2020
AbstractGuanine-rich regions of the human genome can adopt non-canonical secondary structures. Their role in regulating gene expression has turned them into promising targets for therapeutic intervention. Ligands based on polyaromatic moieties are especially suitable for targeting G-quadruplexes utilizing their size complementarity to interact with the

Analysis of Modified Nucleotide Aptamer Library Generated by Thermophilic DNA Polymerases

ChemBioChem, 2020
AbstractOne of the pivotal steps in aptamer selection is the amplification of target‐specific oligonucleotides by thermophilic DNA polymerases; it can be a challenging task if nucleic acids possessing modified nucleotides are to be amplified. Hence, the identification of compatible DNA polymerase and modified nucleotide pairs is necessary for effective

Towards the selection of phosphorothioate aptamers [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 2000
The high affinity of a given nucleic acid for a protein ligand can be used to isolate specific inhibitors of enzymes involved in pathological situations. The latter property is the basis of the SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) technique.

Kinetic Exclusion Assay of Biomolecules by Aptamer Capture

Sensors, 2020
DNA aptamers are short nucleotide oligomers selected to bind a target ligand with affinity and specificity rivaling that of antibodies. These remarkable features recommend aptamers as candidates for analytical and therapeutic applications that ...
