摘要
En 中文
Aptamers are DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that can bind with high affinity and specificity to a wide range of targets such as proteins, metal ions or pathogenic microorganisms. Soluble aptamers and aptazymes have been used as sensing elements for developing homogeneous assays in a solution phase, the whole sensing process being carried out in a homogeneous solution. Contrary to most conventional heterogeneous assays that are time-consuming and labor-intensive, aptamer-based homogeneous assays are simple, easy-toperform, rapid and do not require immobilization nor washing steps. To our knowledge, this review is the first entirely dedicated to aptamer-based homogeneous assays. Optical detection appears as the most developed technique. Colorimetry represents the simplest sensing mode that occupies a very important position among aptamer-based assays, involving gold nanoparticle aggregation (with unmodified or aptamer-modified gold NPs), the formation of HRP-mimicking DNAzyme with hemin, dye displacement or interactions with a cationic polymer. Fluorescence that is highly sensitive offers the most developed detection mode. Aptamers can be labeled or not, to give rise to turn-on or usually less sensitive turn-off fluorescent assays. Newly reported and thus less developed non-conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electrochemistry also recently appeared in the literature, thrombin still remains the main detected target. Homogeneous assays based on aptazyme, an aptamer sequence connected to a known ribozyme motif, are also described in this review, involving optical detection, by colorimetry or fluorescence.
