A Selective Na+ Aptamer Dissected by Sensitized Tb3+ Luminescence

Zhou, Wenhu; Ding, Jinsong; Liu, Juewen (Wiley, 2016-08-17)

A previous study of two RNA-cleaving DNAzymes, NaA43 and Ce13d, revealed the possibility of a common Na+ aptamer motif. Because Na+ binding to DNA is a fundamental biochemical problem, the interaction between Ce13d and Na+ ...
A Silver DNAzyme

Saran, Runjhun; Liu, Juewen (American Chemical Society, 2016-04-05)

Silver is a very common heavy metal, and its detection is of significant analytical importance. DNAzymes are DNA-based catalysts; they typically recruit divalent and trivalent metal ions for catalysis. Herein, we report a ...
An Ultrasensitive Light-up Cu2+ Biosensor Using a New DNAzyme Cleaving a Phosphorothioate-Modified Substrate

Huang, Po-Jung Jimmy; Liu, Juewen (American Chemical Society, 2017-01-15)

Cu2+ is a very important metal ion in biology, environmental science, and industry. Developing biosensors for Cu2+ is a key topic in analytical chemistry. DNAzyme-based sensors are highly attractive:, for their excellent ...
