This part binds to cocaine with KD being  7 ± 1 uM (calculated using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry). It has three stems that are arranged around a three-way junction. Mostly used as a proof-of-concept aptamer. It also binds to other alkaloids. Its affinity for quinine is 30 times more than that of cocaine, with KD being  0.23 ± 0.03 uM. Since the same aptamer binds to many ligands, this part is unsuitable for biosensing applications [1,2].

Aptamer_MN4

Aptamer_MN4 is a single-stranded DNA aptamer having 36 nucleotides. Figure 1A) shows the secondary structure and minimum free energy.


Usage and Biology

This part binds to cocaine with KD being 7 ± 1 uM (calculated using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry). It has three stems that are arranged around a three-way junction. Mostly used as a proof-of-concept aptamer. It also binds to other alkaloids. Its affinity for quinine is 30 times more than that of cocaine, with KD being 0.23 ± 0.03 uM. Since the same aptamer binds to many ligands, this part is unsuitable for biosensing applications [1,2].
