Split aptamer mediated endonuclease amplification for small-molecule detection.
A novel, highly sensitive split aptamer mediated endonuclease amplification strategy for the construction of aptameric sensors is reported.
متن کاملFollowing aptamer-ricin specific binding by single molecule recognition and force spectroscopy measurements.
Single molecule recognition imaging and dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) analysis showed strong binding affinity between an aptamer and ricin, which was comparable with antibody-ricin interaction. Molecular simulation showed a ricin binding conformation with aptamers and gave different ricin conformations immobilizing on substrates that were consistent with AFM images.
متن کاملLinker dependent bond rupture force measurements in single-molecule junctions.
We use a modified conducting atomic force microscope to simultaneously probe the conductance of a single-molecule junction and the force required to rupture the junction formed by alkanes terminated with four different chemical link groups which vary in binding strength and mechanism to the gold electrodes. Molecular junctions with amine, methylsulfide, and diphenylphosphine terminated molecule...
متن کاملA force-spectroscopy-based single-molecule metal-binding assay.
Quantifying metal-binding by force: A quantitative single-molecule force-spectroscopy-based assay is developed to measure the binding affinity of metal ions to proteins. The method uses the unfolding force of a protein as a direct probe to distinguish the apo and metal-ion-bound forms of that protein and quantify the partitioning between the two forms (see figure).
متن کاملSingle-molecule force spectroscopy distinguishes target binding modes of calmodulin.
The eukaryotic signaling protein calmodulin (CaM) can bind to more than 300 known target proteins to regulate numerous functions in our body in a calcium-dependent manner. How CaM distinguishes between these various targets is still largely unknown. Here, we investigate fluctuations of the complex formation of CaM and its target peptide sequences using single-molecule force spectroscopy by AFM....
