The rupture force of a split (bipartite) aptamer that forms binding pockets for adenosine monophosphate (AMP) was measured by atomic force spectroscopy. Changes in the rupture force were observed in the presence of AMP, while this effect was absent when mutant aptamers or inosine were used. Thus, changes in the rupture force were a direct consequence of specific binding of AMP to the split aptamer. The split aptamer concept allowed the detection of nonlabeled AMP and enabled us to determine the dissociation constant on a single-molecule level.

Synthetic ssDNA oligonucleotides hold great potential for various applications, including DNA aptamers, DNA digital data storage, DNA origami, and synthetic genomes. In these contexts, precise control over the synthesis of the ssDNA strands is essential for generating combinatorial sequences with user-defined parameters. Desired features for creating synthetic DNA oligonucleotides include easy manipulation of DNA strands, effective detection of unique DNA sequences, and a straightforward mechanism for strand elongation and termination.

Light can be used as a precise and reversible trigger for the activation of optogenetic tools with subcellular resolution. The interaction of the photoreceptor PAL and aptamer 53 was integrated into a CRISPR/dCas9 system, which can be applied for light-controlled activation of gene expression. Here, we describe a protocol for in vitro application of light-dependent overexpression using eBFP as a proof of concept.

The classical electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reagent Ru(bpy) was first doped into CdSe QDs to prepare novel dual-potential color-resolved luminophore Ru-CdSe QDs. Ru-CdSe QDs emitted a strong red ECL signal at a positive potential with coreactant TPrA and a strong green ECL signal at a negative potential with coreactant KSO. As a proof-of-concept application, this work introduced Ru-CdSe QDs into a dual-channel closed bipolar electrode (CBPE) system to construct an ECL biosensor for simultaneous detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) and kanamycin (KAN).

Background: Aptamers, consisting of specialized single-stranded nucleic acids, are engineered through the SELEX technique to recognize specific targets with strong affinity. Aptamers are exceptionally useful in various sensor technologies, such as fluorescence-based sensors, electrochemical sensors, and colorimetric detection systems. Due to its high sensitivity, specificity and fast response, electrochemical aptasensor shows great application prospects in analytical detection, food safety, and environmental monitoring.

Aptamer-based biosensors with a low cost and high specificity have been widely applied in diagnostics, food safety, and environmental monitoring. However, aptamer-based biosensors still suffer from insufficient specificity or affinity owing to the inherent constraints of the thermodynamic and kinetic binding properties of aptamers. Therefore, optimization technologies for various aptamers have been proposed to obtain high-affinity aptamers for constructing high-performance biosensors.
