چکیده

Morpholino has drawn considerable attention as a result of its advantageous properties. In the past few decades, morpholino has demonstrated in applications as being the premier knockdown tool in developmental biology because of its cytosolic delivery in the embryos through micro-injection. Morpholino has outstanding affinity for nucleic acids and the destabilizing effect of mismatches in morpholinocontaining heterodimers is higher than in a DNA or RNA double strand. Therefore, morpholino-based nucleic acid biosensors have high sensitivity and specificity for nucleic acid detection. In this review, the characteristics of morpholino are briefly introduced, followed by highlights of nucleic acid biosensors based on morpholino, including fabrication, analytical characteristics and biological applications.

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...
