Aptamers are structured nucleic acid sequences that selectively bind a molecular target with high
affinity. Aptamer sequences can be found in nature as gene regulation elements located in the untranslated
regions of mRNAs,1 or discovered in the laboratory by in vitro selection (also known as SELEX: systematic
evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) from a random pool of nucleic acids.2,3 Some in vitroselected
aptamers can bind ...
