Aptamer degradation inhibition combined with DNAzyme cascade-based signal amplification for colorimetric detection of proteins

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Jul 14;49(55):6137-9. doi: 10.1039/c3cc42148a.

Abstract

Combining the inhibition of aptamer degradation with DNA Enzyme (DNAzyme) cascade-based signal amplification, a label-free and sensitive colorimetric protein assay strategy was proposed.
