Keeping a broad (RNA) perspective: conventional biochemical detection systems only have a 100-fold linear response range. The range of potassium concentrations detected by an RNA G-quadruplex sequence can be broadened by intentionally populating multiple intermediate folding states. The folding of the RNA G-quadruplexes was monitored by both circular dichroism and intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy.

Self-powered dual-photoelectrode photoelectrochemical aptasensor amplified by hemin/G-quadruplex-based DNAzyme.

A self-powered dual-electrode aptasensor was developed for the detection of tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The composite BiVO/ZnInS, which is capable of forming a Z-scheme heterojunction, was chosen as the photoanode, and the AuNP/CuBiO complex was chosen as the photocathode in photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection. The experiments showed that the constructed self-powered dual-electrode system had a good photoelectric response to white light, and the photocurrent signal of the photocathode was significantly enhanced under the influence of the photoanode.

G4s are enzymatically resolved using specialized helicases. Previous studies showed that DEAH-box Helicase 36 (DHX36/G4R1/RHAU), has the highest specificity and affinity for G4 structures.

Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are endogenous DNA lesions widespread in human cells. Having no nucleobases, they are noncoding and promutagenic. AP site repair is generally initiated through strand incision by AP endonuclease 1 (APE1).

Thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) is one of the best-known G-quadruplex (G4)-forming aptamers that efficiently binds to thrombin, resulting in anticoagulant effects. TBA also possesses promising antiproliferative properties. As with most therapeutic oligonucleotides, chemical modifications are critical for therapeutic applications, particularly to improve thermodynamic stability, resistance in biological environment, and target affinity.

Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality rate worldwide, of which non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85%. KRAS mutations are one of the significant mechanisms underlying the occurrence, development, immune escape, and chemotherapy resistance of NSCLC. Two KRAS inhibitors are approved by FDA for the treatment of NSCLC in the past three years.
