We synthesized a single-stranded DNA with triple G-quartet structure and found that its thrombin-binding activity at 37 degrees C is as much as that of thrombin aptamer with double G-quartet structure which is a product of in vitro selection and amplification. This result suggests that the sequence motifs obtained by in vitro selection and amplification method might not be the only answer.
我们合成了具有三重G-四链体结构的单链DNA,并发现其在37摄氏度时的凝血酶结合活性与具有双重G-四链体结构的凝血酶适体相当,后者是体外筛选和扩增的产物。这一结果表明,通过体外筛选和扩增方法获得的序列基序可能不是唯一的答案。
