Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Aptamer selection requires substantial quantities of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA).
  • Enzymatic digestion of 5'-phosphorylated DNA strands is a known technique for generating ssDNA.
  • Existing methods for ssDNA preparation can be inefficient for large-scale aptamer discovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt a selective enzymatic digestion method for preparing large ssDNA pools.
  • To provide a reliable protocol for generating ssDNA suitable for in vitro aptamer selection.
  • To optimize a key step in the aptamer development workflow.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products.
  • Employing selective enzymatic digestion of 5'-phosphorylated complementary DNA strands.
