چکیده

Recent advances in nanotechnology have enabled the development of nanoscale sensors that outperform conventional biosensors. This review summarizes the nanoscale biosensors that use aptamers as molecular recognition elements. The advantages of aptamers over antibodies as sensors are highlighted. These advantages are especially apparent with electrical sensors such as electrochemical sensors or those using field-effect transistors.

Nanobiosensors and fluorescence based biosensors: An overview

A biosensor can sense biological elements after interaction with the recognition element. The signal produced due to interaction of the analyte with its biochemical element is transduced by a transducer and detected by appropriate modes. The miniaturization of these biosensors at the nano level using nanostructures as a platform for sensing the analyte or its detection is called a nanobiosensor...

Selected by in vitro techniques (SELEX, cell-SELEX), aptamers are strands of DNA or RNA 13 molecules able to bind a wide range of targets, from small molecules to live cells, and even tissues, 14 with high affinity and specificity. Due to their efficient targeting ability, aptamers are extensively 15 used in different fields of applications. For example, they ensure high performance as cancer-r...
