Published: November 2004

We describe synthesis of four novel biotin phosphoramidites with tethering arms ranging from 20 to 74 atoms in length. One of these phosphoramidites is a uridine derivative with a biotin moiety attached through the 2'-position. The biotin phosphoramidites were synthetized based on robust and efficient methoxyoxalamido (MOX) and succinimido (SUC) precursor strategies from MOX/SUC precursors containing a secondary hydroxyl. They are highly stable in solution (coupling efficiency remains equally high for at least 2 wk after phosphoramidite installation on the synthesizer) and are ideal for the streamlined production of biotin-labeled oligonucleotides. Protocols for the synthesis of biotinylated primers and purification of biotinylated sequencing products by means of streptavidin-coated magnetic beads are also presented.

Background: COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has had enormous social and economic impacts so far. The nucleocapsid protein (N protein) is highly conserved and is a key antigenic marker for the diagnosis of early SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Results: In this study, the N protein was first captured by an aptamer (Aptamer 58) coupled to magnetic beads (MBs), which in turn were bound to another DNA sequence containing the aptamer (Aptamer 48-Initiator).

A novel DNA-quantum dot nanostructure electrochemiluminescence aptamer sensor by chain reaction amplification for rapid detection of trace Cd.

Key Laboratory of Optic-electric Sensing and Analytical Chemistry for Life Science, MOE; College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266042, PR China.

This work proposes a new enzyme-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platform based on a novel DNA-quantum dot (QD) nanostructure and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification for the trace detection of Cd. First, the Cd aptamer triggers the HCR amplification circuit, so abundant biotin-labeled DNAs are introduced to the electrode, and then biotin as a linker specifically captures a large number of streptavidin (SA)-CdS QD complexes, showing very high ECL signals. After the present Cd binds to its aptamer on the electrode, it causes the linear DNA structure loaded with a large number of QDs to break away from the electrode, resulting in a significantly decreased ECL response.

Background And Objective: The utilization of direct amplification of nucleic acid from lysate has attracted interest in the advancement of straightforward and economical point-of-care assays. Consequently, this study primarily focuses on the development of a rapid, precise, and cost-effective lateral flow biosensor for the convenient detection of HBV nucleic acid at the point-of-care. Furthermore, the study evaluates the effectiveness of the direct amplification method in comparison to purified nucleic acid samples within the context of LAMP-LF biosensing approaches.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are popular labels for colorimetric detection of various analytes, involving proteins, nucleic acids, viruses, and whole cells because of their outstanding optical properties, inertness, and modification variability. In this work, we present an improved approach for enhancement of color intensity for DNA membrane microarrays based on seed-mediated growth of AuNP labels. Biotin-labeled DNA is hybridized with capture oligonucleotide probes immobilized on the microarrays.
