Rational design and development of a universal baby spinach-based sensing platform for the detection of biomolecules

Analyst. 2019 Dec 2;144(24):7173-7177. doi: 10.1039/c9an02061f.

Abstract

Here, we designed and developed a Universal Baby Spinach-based Probe (UBSP) for biomolecule detection by introducing a DNA repressor containing a target recognition element. By employing different interaction modes between targets and repressors, we applied the UBSP to detect diverse classes of analytes, including microRNA, proteins, and heavy metal ions.
