Aptamer based diagnosis of crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever from clinical specimens
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute viral zoonotic disease. The widespread geographic distribution of the disease and the increase in the incidence of the disease from new regions, placed CCHF in a list of public health emergency contexts.

Aptamer fluorescence anisotropy sensors for adenosine triphosphate by comprehensive screening tetramethylrhodamine labeled nucleotides [PDF]
We previously reported a fluorescence anisotropy (FA) approach for small molecules using tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) labeled aptamer. It relies on target-binding induced change of intramolecular interaction between TMR and guanine (G) base. TMR-labeling sites are crucial for this approach. Only terminal ends and thymine (T) bases could be tested for TMR

Upgrading SELEX Technology by Using Lambda Exonuclease Digestion for Single-Stranded DNA Generation
The generation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecules plays a key role in the SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment) combinatorial chemistry process and numerous molecular biology techniques and applications, such as DNA ...

Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) plays a critical role in thrombus formation, stabilization, and propagation. Previous studies have demonstrated that targeted inhibition of VWF induces thrombolysis when administered in vivo in animal models of ischemic stroke.

Stepping towards highly flexible aptamers: enzymatic recognition studies of unlocked nucleic acid nucleotides [PDF]
Enzymatic recognition of unlocked nucleic acid (UNA) nucleotides was successfully accomplished. Therminator DNA polymerase was found to be an efficient enzyme in primer extension reactions. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of a 81 mer UNA-modified DNA library was efficiently achieved by KOD DNA polymerase.

Agreement of aptamer proteomics with standard methods for measuring venous thrombosis biomarkers
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex disease with an incidence rate of about 1 in 1000 per year. Despite the availability of validated biomarkers for VTE, unprovoked events account for 50% of first events.

The ability to change binding affinity in a controlled fashion is a key step in the rational design of biomolecules in general and functional nucleic acids in particular. Here, we use dangling nucleotides to alter the binding affinity of structure-switching aptamers.

Probing Essential Nucleobase Functional Groups in Aptamers and Deoxyribozymes by Nucleotide Analogue Interference Mapping of DNA [PDF]
Nucleotide analogue interference mapping of DNA (dNAIM) is here introduced as a new nonenzymatic interference-based approach that enables high-throughput identification of essential nucleobase functional groups in DNA aptamers and in the catalytic core of deoxyribozymes.
