making in situ DNA detection possible. A third advantage of EC sensors is their ability to achieve precise DNA recognition due to localization effects. Traditional detection methods, based on ...

In a pair of studies appearing in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) and JACS Au, Xiao led a team that developed aptamer-based sensors for cocaine, heroin, codeine, fentanyl and ...

A self-powered biosensor detects and destroys E. coli using enzyme-driven energy, aptamer-based recognition, and silver ion release for real-time safety.

The new platform for small molecule sequencing, called "smol-seq," employs short strands of DNA called aptamers to detect ... that power for metabolite detection," said Andrew Fraser, principal ...

In the work, the researchers added the vitamin biotin to those short DNA strands to turn the system into a sensor for the ...

Aviation influenza has a devastating effect on global bird populations. Now, researchers have developed a sensor that can ...

In the work, the researchers added the vitamin biotin to those short DNA strands to turn the system into a sensor for the protein streptavidin. Then they added a DNA aptamer, a DNA strand that can ...
