rafl7s aptamer



Description

In 2000, Ellington, A. D. et al. had therefore attempted to develop selection methods that couple the broad molecular recognition properties of aptamers with signal transduction. Anti-adenosine aptamers were selected from a pool that was skewed to contain very few fluoresceinated uridines. The primary family of aptamers showed a doubling of relative fluorescence intensity at saturating concentrations of a cognate analyte, ATP, and could sense ATP concentrations as low as 25 microM. A single uridine was present in the best signaling aptamer[1].



SELEX

Ellington, A. D. et al. used SELEX to select fluorescently labelled aptamers from a pool skewed to contain very few fluoresceinated uridines. After 11 rounds of selection and amplification, the primary family of aptamers exhibited a doubling of relative fluorescence intensity at saturating concentrations of ATP and could sense ATP concentrations as low as 25 µM[1].

Detailed information are accessible on SELEX page.



Structure

The sequence and secondary prediction structure of the aptamer will be shown here, here we used ribodraw to complete the figure. The 2D structure of the figure is based on the article by ribodraw tool to draw. rafl7-U61C aptamer was named by Ellington, A. D[1].
