Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that may be evolved for affinity and specificity for their targets and can be easily produced, regenerated, and stabilized. In this study, we adapted Ni-NTA (nickle-charged nitrilotriacetic acid) affinity-chromatography in the development of single-stranded DNA aptamers against N-cadherin protein by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). After ten rounds of selection, two aptamers, designated NS13 and NC23, were selected, which showed low dissociation constants of 93 and 174 nM, respectively. The 5′-carboxyfluorescein-labeled NS13 was used for the sensitive detection of N-cadherin protein by the enzyme-linked oligonucleotide assay (ELONA) method.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry has been relaunched as ACS Combinatorial Science under the leadership of new Editor-in-Chief M.G. Finn of The Scripps Research Institute. The journal features an expanded scope and will build upon the legacy of the Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry, a highly cited leader in the field.
