    摘要: The subject invention provides methods, assays, and products for visual detection of small-molecule targets in a sample in both clinical and field settings within minutes. The subject invention is based on an aptamer sensor that reports the presence of small-molecule target via a sensitive colorimetric signal for naked-eye detection. The aptamer sensor is a CBSAzyme-based sensor having both target-mediated cooperative behavior of the CBSA and peroxidase-mimicking catalytic activity of DNAzyme. The subject invention also provides methods of using the CBSAzyme-based sensor.

    摘要: The subject invention provides materials and methods for single-step detection of small molecules, e.g., natural and synthetic cannabinoids, in a sample. The subjection invention provides nucleic acids materials, e.g., aptamers (nucleic acid oligonucleotides) that can bind to natural and/or synthetic cannabinoids. The method for detecting a natural or synthetic cannabinoid in a sample comprises contacting the sample with an aptamer-based sensor selective for the natural or synthetic cannabinoid, and sensitively and rapidly detecting the natural or synthetic cannabinoid in the sample. The aptamer-based sensor comprises aptamers that can specifically binds to natural and/or synthetic cannabinoids with nanomolar dissociation constant.

    摘要: The subject invention provides methods, assays, and products for detecting small molecules in a sample, in particular, in both clinical and field settings. The method for detecting a small-molecule target, preferably, a synthetic cathinone in a sample comprises contacting the sample with an aptamer-based sensor selective for the small-molecule target, and detecting the small-molecule target in the sample. Specifically, the method utilizes an aptamer-based sensor comprising a dye binding to a three-way junction binding domain of an aptamer. Binding of small-molecule target to the aptamer displaces the dye, generating a spectroscopic signal that can be used for detection of the small-molecule target and quantitative measurement of the target concentration.

    摘要: A porous conductive thin film includes a layer of metal nanoparticles decorated on a layer of conductive carbon nanomaterials. The thin film can be supported by a porous support. The porous support can be a MCE paper upon which a metallic or semi-metallic single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) layer is decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) or platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs). The thin film can be constructed by filtering a dispersion of SWCNTs onto MCE filter paper followed by the filtration of a citrate stabilized dispersion of AuNPs or PtNPs onto the SWCNT layer.

    摘要: Provided are novel single-stranded oligonucleotide probes that have a triple-stem configuration in the absence of target binding to the target binding sequence. The probes also have a fluorophore and a quencher. In the absence of target binding to the target binding sequence, these single-stranded oligonucleotide probes are capable of forming self-complementary duplexes such that the probe is in the triple-stem configuration and the fluorophore is positioned adjacent the quencher. In the presence of target binding to the target binding sequence, formation of the self-complementary duplexes is inhibited such that the probe is configured to position the fluorophore away from the quencher such that a signal of the fluorophore is detectable. Also provided are methods of using the probes.
