摘要:
A method for the determination of an analyte in a sample, the method comprising: (a) providing a catalytic polynucleotide; (b) contacting the catalytic polynucleotide with the sample so that the catalytic polynucleotide may bind to the analyte; (c) providing assay conditions such that the catalytic polynucleotide produces an optically detectable signal in the presence of the analyte; and (d) detecting the signal, thereby determining the presence of the analyte in the sample. One application of the method is for the detection of telomerase in a biological sample.

The subject invention provides methods for fabricating electrochemical aptamer-based (E-AB) sensors with enhanced sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratios, LOD, and improved stability and reproducibility. The subject invention also provides methods for aptamer immobilization on the surface of the electrode, which favors sufficient spacing between aptamers at the microscale to achieve optimal target recognition, folding, and signal transduction. The E-AB sensors of the subject invention provide superior sensing regardless of the sequence or structure of the bound aptamers or the physiochemical properties of the target.

The subject invention provides materials and methods for single-step fluorescence and electrochemical detection of small molecules, e.g., fentanyl and its analogs, in a sample. The subjection invention provides nucleic acids materials, e.g., aptamers (nucleic acid oligonucleotides) that can bind to fentanyl and its analogs with nanomolar affinity and high specificity against illicit drugs, adulterants, and cutting agents commonly existing in seized samples. The method for detecting fentanyl and/or its analogs in a sample comprises contacting the sample with an aptamer-based sensor selective for fentanyl and its analogs, and sensitively, specifically, and rapidly detecting fentanyl and/or its analogs in the sample.

The subject invention provides a SELEX strategy for isolating cross-reactive aptamers that recognize a core structure of a small-molecule family and bind to several structurally-similar molecules in the family. The subject invention also provides methods, assays, and products for detecting small-molecule targets of the family in a sample in both clinical and field settings. Such method is based on an aptamer sensor that reports the presence of small-molecule targets via a sensitive colorimetric signal for naked-eye detection. The subject invention further provides exonuclease-based methods for generating structure-switching aptamers from fully folded aptamers and developing electrochemical aptamer-based (E-AB) sensors for rapid and sensitive detection of synthetic cathinones.

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:
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:
The invention provides a general “signal-on” architecture for oligonucleotide-based detectors that leads to order of magnitude increases in signal gain and sensitivity as compared to prior art detectors. The detectors of the invention rely on base pairing between two oligonucleotide strands, the sensor strand and the blocker strand. In the ‘off’ position of the detector, i.e., in the absence of target, the blocker strand and sensor strand are base-paired. As shown in FIG. 1, the formation of comparatively rigid, duplex DNA prevents the redox moiety from approaching the electrode surface, thereby suppressing Faradaic currents. When target is added to the system, the target displaces the blocker strand, binds to the sensor strand, liberating the end of the redox-labeled oligonucleotide to produce a flexible element. This, in turn, allows the redox moiety to collide with the electrode surface, producing a readily detectable Faradaic current.

摘要:
The subject invention provides materials and methods for single-step detection of target molecules in a sample. The methods and assays of the subject invention employ a dye-displacement strategy, in which aptamers complexed with a cyanine dye for sensitive and rapid detection of targets of interest. In the presence of a target, aptamer-target binding liberates the non-covalently bound aptamer-binding dye, resulting in optical changes that can be observed spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. The methods and assays of the subject invention enable the colorimetric detection of targets of interest regardless of their structure, sequence, target-binding affinity, and physicochemical properties of their targets.
