Aptamer Engineering: Strategies for Discovering Functional Nucleic Acids for Next‐Generation Diagnostics and Biosensing

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
The advent of aptamers has highlighted their potential as alternatives to antibodies, overcoming limitations of structural instability and production cost. However, conventional approaches such as SELEX remain slow and labor‐intensive. This review examines recent advances in aptamer engineering, emphasizing in vitro and AI‐driven in silico strategies ...

Neurotoxins of Bungarus multicinctus venom purification and partial characterization [PDF]

Biochemistry, 1977
The purification to homogeneity of nine neurotoxic components of the venom of Bungarus multicinctus is described. The purified components include alpha-bungarotoxin and two other alpha-type synaptic toxins and beta-bungarotoxin and five other beta-type synaptic toxins. The purified toxins have been characterized by electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing,

Animal Venom Pharmacological Resources: Exploiting Bioactive Peptides to Target Multi–Drug‐Resistant Bacteria

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The escalating rise of multi–drug‐resistant (MDR) bacterial strains significantly threatens global health, creating a “silent pandemic” prompted by natural selection, gene mutation, and horizontal gene transfer. This crisis is worsened by the deficit in the development of new treatments, necessitating the innovative discovery of new potent ...
