TLDR
The iridium(iii) complex 1 was synthesized and employed in constructing an assay which is based on a G-quadruplex for detecting arsenic ions in aqueous solution and showed high selectivity towards arsenic ions over other metal ions.Abstract:
In this work, the iridium(iii) complex 1 was synthesized and employed in constructing an assay which is based on a G-quadruplex for detecting arsenic ions in aqueous solution. The assay achieved a detection limit of 7.6 nM (ca. 0.57 μg L-1) and showed high selectivity towards arsenic ions over other metal ions. Additionally, the assay could function in natural water and a simple microfluidic chip was used to investigate the potential of this platform for real-time detection.read more

Selection in vitro of single-stranded DNA molecules that fold into specific ligand-binding structures
TL;DR: A set of ligand-binding DNA sequences are isolated from a large pool of random sequence DNAs by selection and amplification in vitro, revealing that ligand binding is DNA-specific; RNAs of identical sequence could not interact with the same ligands.

Applications of Aptamers as Sensors
TL;DR: Aptamers are ligand-binding nucleic acids whose affinities and selectivities can rival those of antibodies, and they are readily adapted to sequence- (and hence signal-) amplification methods.
