DNAzymes can be obtained by in vitro selection, when specific analytes such as porphyrins are used as targets. In this process, the immobilization of targets serving as a major step is not suitable for the selection of DNAzymes because small molecules like porphyrins lack active groups for immobilization. Here, we develop a gold nanoparticle (AuNPs)-assisted aptamer selection for the small molecule porphyrin Zinc(II)-Protoporphyrin IX (ZnPPIX), which can realize the selection of DNAzyme without an immobilization step, and the detailed in vitro selection process in solution is described.
DNA 酶可以通过体外选择获得,当特定的分析物如卟啉类物质被用作靶标时。在这个过程中,作为主要步骤的靶标固定化不适合 DNA 酶的选择,因为像卟啉类物质这样的小分子缺乏用于固定化的活性基团。在这里,我们开发了一种金纳米粒子 (AuNPs) 辅助的小分子卟啉锌(II)-原卟啉 IX (ZnPPIX) 的适体选择,它可以实现无固定化步骤的 DNA 酶选择,并描述了溶液中详细的体外选择过程。
