The life marker chip : potential use of aptamers against small molecules and consideration of instrument planetary protection [PDF]
The Life Marker Chip (LMC) instrument was developed with the aim to detect evidence of life on Mars. The detection was based on an inhibition immunoassay. In this work aptamers were evaluated as potential alternative to antibodies for the LMC.

Preliminary in vivo characterization of a theranostic aptamer: Sgc8-c- DOTA-67Ga [PDF]
Nucleic acid aptamers can recognise their target with high affinity and specificity, and their potential as molecular imaging agents and use in theranostics are being explored.

Progress on application of aptamers on food safety detection
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 ...

Aptamers and Aptamer-Coupled Biosensors to Detect Water-Borne Pathogens
Aptamers can serve as efficient bioreceptors for the development of biosensing detection platforms. Aptamers are short DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that fold into specific structures, which enable them to selectively bind to target analytes.

Peptide aptamers define distinct EB1- and EB3-binding motifs and interfere with microtubule dynamics [PDF]
EB1 is a conserved protein that plays a central role in regulating microtubule dynamics and organisation. It binds directly to microtubule plus ends and recruits other plus end localising proteins.

Modelling aptamers with nucleic acid mimics (NAM): From sequence to three-dimensional docking
Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides, formerly evolved by Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX), that fold into functional three-dimensional structures.
