Description 1 online resource (viii, 395 pages) : illustrations Series Integrated analytical systems Integrated analytical systems. Contents Natural functional nucleic acids: ribozymes, allosteric ribozymes and riboswitches -- Artificial functional nucleic acids: aptamers, ribozymes and deoxyribozymes by in vitro selection -- Overview of functional nucleic acids in analytical applications -- Immobilization of functional nucleic acids for analytical applications -- Fluorescent aptamer sensors -- Fluorescent ribozyme and deoxyribozyme sensors -- Colorimetric aptamer sensors -- Fluorescent and colorimetric sensors based on functional nucelic acid directed assembly of nanomaterials -- Electrochemical aptamer sensors -- Other aptamer sensors -- Functional nucleic acids based signal amplification systems -- Aptamers in affinity separations: capillary electrophoresis.-Aptamers in affinity separations: stationary separation -- Aptamer microarrays -- The use of aptamers in solid-phase assays -- Functional nucleic acid sensors as screening tools -- Functional nucleic acid-based DNA computation -- Functional nucleic acid-based DNA nanostructures Summary Both DNA and RNA can serve purposes beyond simple genetic storage and transfer â€" for example, they can also be employed as enzymes (for catalysis) and receptors (for ligand binding). Increasingly, researchers are making interesting use of these molecules, now collectively called functional nucleic acids. This book, containing chapters written by leading experts in relevant fields, provides timely accounts of diverse analytical applications that take advantage of the functional nucleic acids. The book is written for academic, clinical and industrial scientists and graduate students who may consider exploring functional nucleic acids in their research or practice Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record In Springer eBooks Subject Nucleic acids.
