What is Biosensor? • Analytical device using biological element • Sensing organic molecule’s state or concentration
What is aptamer? • Piece of single strand DNA or RNA • High affinity for certain molecule • Used for bioreceptor of biosensor
Small size easy production, modification • High stability easy to handle, regeneration • Economically efficient • No immune rejection response • Adjust to many toxic material or complex protein
How can we find aptamer? vitro selection SELEX(Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment)
Different kind of SELEX • Cell SELEX • Capillary electrophoresis SELEX (CE SELEX) • Speigelmer
How can we use aptamer? • Sensor • Diagnosis • Cure
Discussion • Where can aptamer be used in another way?
