Aptamer switches as effective biosensing tools have become a focal point of research in engineered aptasensors. Intramolecular aptamer switches are more versatile, affordable, and simpler than classical "open-close" and strand displacement-based aptamer switches. Recently, many new aptamers with an overall hairpin structure have been reported. In this study, intramolecular aptamer switches were developed by adding new base pairs to the end of aptamers. The additional nucleotides can pair with the internal domains of the aptamer, causing a change in its conformation from the original secondary structure without a target. When a target binds to an aptamer, a marked change in the structure of the aptamer is expected. As models for testing this intramolecular aptamer switch idea, aptamers of oxytetracycline (OTC), 17β-estradiol (E2), and adenosine were employed. When the additional base pairs are too long, binding the target to the aptamer becomes more challenging. This research offers valuable insights into the development of intramolecular aptamer switches and their potential applications in biosensor design.
