Lead-II-ions-specific aptamer
This aptameric sequence is capable of recognising and binding specifically to lead II ions. This sequence, which works as a single stranded nucleic acid molecule, is capable of forming a G-quadruplex by interacting with lead ions (Pb2+) while disrupting a partially complementary duplex.

The linker was ligated into the linearised plasmid pSB1C3 and previously cut with EcoRI and PstI, then a purification was performed (figure 1A). Several clones were selected to isolate plasmid by miniprep (figure 1). In order to analyse the integrity of plasmids an electrophoresis was run (figure 1B). Several plasmid isoforms were observed and the plasmids were suitable to be used as template in a PCR reaction to know the presence of the insert.
