Background:

Fluorescence polarization (FP) assays are widely used for molecular detection.
Existing FP assays often require competitive binding, limiting their application for small molecule sensing.
Nucleic acid aptamers offer unique binding mechanisms that can be exploited for novel assay development.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a new noncompetitive fluorescence polarization (FP) assay strategy for small molecule sensing.
To demonstrate the first noncompetitive FP technique specifically designed for detecting small molecules.
To explore the potential of aptamer-induced conformational changes for signal transduction in FP assays.

Main Methods:

A noncompetitive FP assay strategy was developed utilizing the induced-fit binding mechanism of DNA aptamers.
An anti-L-tyrosinamide DNA aptamer, labeled with a fluorescent dye, was used as a model probe.
The binding of L-tyrosinamide to the aptamer induced a conformational change, leading to a detectable increase in fluorescence anisotropy.

Main Results:

The developed FP assay demonstrated enantioselective sensing of L-tyrosinamide.
The method was successfully applied to analyze L-tyrosinamide in practical samples.
The assay was also effective for L-argininamide detection, indicating broad applicability.

Conclusions:

The study presents a novel and simple aptamer-based FP assay for sensitive small molecule detection.
This noncompetitive FP strategy offers a versatile platform for enantioselective sensing.
The methodology shows potential for generalizability in direct FP-based sensing applications.
