(2009À2010), thefield of aptamer research has continuously generated lots of interest in the
scientific community. Aptamers, first reported by three groups independently in 1990, 1À3 …

Small molecules play a major role in the human body and as drugs, toxins, and chemicals.
Tools to detect and quantify them are therefore in high demand. This review will give an …

The classical DNA aptamer for adenosine and ATP has been the most used small molecule
binding aptamer for biosensing, imaging, and DNA nanotechnology. This sequence has …

The chemical composition of cells at the molecular level determines their growth,
differentiation, structure, and function. Probing this composition is powerful because it …

Background Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is used as an intracellular energy source by all
living organisms. It plays a central role in the respiration and metabolism, and is the most …

Nucleic acid aptamers are promising alternatives to antibodies in analytics. They are
generally obtained through an iterative SELEX protocol that enriches a population of …

Simple Summary The lens organ of the eye and muscle tissue exist at opposite ends of the
metabolic spectrum. Lens is metabolically quiescent using little energy, while muscle has …

Aggregation of damaged or misfolded proteins is a protective mechanism against
proteotoxic stress, abnormalities of which underlie many aging-related diseases. Here, we …

The organization and biophysical properties of the cytosol implicitly govern molecular
interactions within cells. However, little is known about mechanisms by which cells regulate …

Intracellular Ca2+ levels play a crucial role in the control of ATP synthesis. However, the
spatiotemporal correlation between ATP and Ca2+ remains unclear due to the inability to …
