Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-Switching Signaling Aptamers

TL;DR: This report describes a strategy for designing aptamer-based fluorescent reporters that function by switching structures from DNA/DNA duplex to DNA/target complex, and reports on the preparation of several structure-switching reporters from two existing DNA aptamers.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA-enhanced peroxidase activity of a DNA aptamer-hemin complex

TL;DR: The aptamer-hemin complexes described are novel DNA enzymes and their study will help elucidate the structural and functional requirements of peroxidase enzymes in general and the ways that a nucleic acid 'apoenzyme' might work to enhance the intrinsicPeroxidatic ability of hemin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design of Gold Nanoparticle‐Based Colorimetric Biosensing Assays

TL;DR: This Minireview summarizes recent advances in AuNP‐based colorimetric biosensing assays and attempts to provide general guidance on how to design such assays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrophoretic deposition of biomaterials

TL;DR: How EPD has become an important tool in advanced biomaterials processing, as a convenient alternative to conventional methods, and the potential of the technique to manipulate and control the deposition of a range of nanomaterials of interest in the biomedical and biotechnology fields are presented.
