In a review of the history and applications of aptamers, David H.J. Bunka and Peter G. Stockley of the University of Leeds in the UK note that photonics techniques have improved the process of selecting aptamers, which are RNA and DNA that interact with small molecules. They also state that aptamers have been used for biological detection. The process of selecting aptamers involves mixing nucleic acids and target molecules and eluting the nucleic acids that bind the most tenaciously. The partitioning efficiency of this technique has been improved through the use of surface plasmon...Read full article
