Aptamers and aptamer targeted delivery [PDF]
RNA Biology, 2009 When aptamers first emerged almost two decades ago, most were RNA species that bound and tagged or inhibited simple target ligands. Very soon after, the 'selectionologists' developing aptamer technology quickly realized more potential for the aptamer.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017 Aptamers are short nucleic acid sequences capable of specific, high-affinity molecular binding. They are isolated via SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment), an evolutionary process that involves iterative rounds of selection and amplification before sequencing and aptamer characterization.

Nucleic Acids Research, 2004 The aptamer database is designed to contain comprehensive sequence information on aptamers and unnatural ribozymes that have been generated by in vitro selection methods. Such data are not normally collected in 'natural' sequence databases, such as GenBank.

Aptamer and aptamer pharmaceuticals [PDF]
SCIENTIA SINICA Chimica, 2018 Recently, molecule-based targeted therapy has achieved remarkable success in clinical, and opened up a new era particulraly in the field of cancer therapy. Monoclonal antibodies and small molecule inhibitors are two pillars of this field. Additionally, a single-strand nucleic acid molecule called “chemical antibody” has also attracted increasing ...

Selecting RNA aptamers for synthetic biology: investigating magnesium dependence and predicting binding affinity. [PDF]
, 2010 The ability to generate RNA aptamers for synthetic biology using in vitro selection depends on the informational complexity (IC) needed to specify functional structures that bind target ligands with desired affinities in physiological concentrations of ...

Characterization of MNK1b DNA Aptamers That Inhibit Proliferation in MDA-MB231 Breast Cancer Cells
Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2016 Elevated expression levels of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) promote cancer development and progression. MAP kinase interacting kinases (MNKs) modulate the function of eIF4E through the phosphorylation that is necessary for oncogenic ...

HIV-1 reverse transcriptase mutations that confer decreased in vitro susceptibility to anti-RT DNA aptamer RT1t49 confer cross resistance to other anti-RT aptamers but not to standard RT inhibitors [PDF]
, 2005 RNA and DNA aptamers specific for HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) can inhibit reverse transcription in vitro. RNA aptamers have been shown to potently block HIV-1 replication in culture.

Aptamer Technology and Its Applications in Bone Diseases
Cell Transplantation, 2023 Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids (DNA, short RNA, or other artificial molecules) produced by the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) technology, which can be tightly and specifically combined with desired targets ...

Progress on application of aptamers on food safety detection
Zhongguo shipin weisheng zazhi, 2022 Aptamers are DNA or RNA molecules that can bind to their target molecules with high affinity and specificity， and because aptamers are stable， simply synthesized and chemically modified， aptamers have become useful tools for analytical， diagnostic and ...
