Biomimetic enzymes have emerged as ideal alternatives to natural enzymes, and there is
considerable interest in designing biomimetic enzymes with enhanced catalytic performance …

Aptamers, as short single-stranded nucleic acids, can bind to targets in a similar way to
antibodies. Relying on the advantages of low cost, high stability, and flexibility, they are …

Catalytic DNA has gained significant attention in recent decades as a highly efficient and
tunable catalyst, thanks to its flexible structures, exceptional specificity, and ease of …

An elevated level of blood uric acid (UA) can cause the formation of kidney stones, gout, and
other diseases. We recently isolated a few DNA aptamers that can selectively bind to UA. In …

BACKGROUND Hydroxyl radical‐mediated materials primarily liberate more reactive and
acutely lethal hydroxyl radical (• OH) and act as potent bactericidal antibiotics, for example …

During a typical aptamer selection experiment, buffer molecules are used at the 10 to 50 mM
range, whereas target molecules could be used at much lower concentrations even in low …

Comprehensive Summary Interfacing DNA oligonucleotides and DNA aptamers with gold
nanoparticles has generated numerous functional hybrid materials for sensing, self …

DNA is a naturally occurring biomacromolecule that plays many roles in living organisms.
While the majority of natural DNA is double stranded, chemical synthesis allows the …
