Abstract
Creatine kinase-MM (CK-MM) is a relatively muscle-specific enzyme with a plasma half-life of approximately 2 h. Total creatine kinase elevation is evident in several conditions associated with acute muscle injury, severe muscular exertion, and myocardial infarction. The presence of a large amount of the CK-MM enzyme in blood serum is a biomarker of muscular injuries and cardiac assault. In this study, we developed a structure-switching aptamer that can be immobilized on a sensor to detect CK-MM. CK-BB was used as a counter-target to ensure the specific targeting of CK-MM. Melting-Off SELEX was employed to develop aptamers exhibiting significant structural changes on binding. The selected aptamer shows a high affinity towards CK-MM with a Kd value of 14.7 nM.
期刊介绍:
Current Research in Biotechnology (CRBIOT) is a new primary research, gold open access journal from Elsevier. CRBIOT publishes original papers, reviews, and short communications (including viewpoints and perspectives) resulting from research in biotechnology and biotech-associated disciplines.
Current Research in Biotechnology is a peer-reviewed gold open access (OA) journal and upon acceptance all articles are permanently and freely available. It is a companion to the highly regarded review journal Current Opinion in Biotechnology (2018 CiteScore 8.450) and is part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals. All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy-of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach-to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists' workflow.
