适体酶Aptazymes的研究进展

Progress in Aptazymes

适体酶是从寡核苷酸随机序列库中筛选获得的针对各种效应分子的一种新的人工合成酶.它具有适体的特异性和核酶的催化活性.适体酶作为催化分子信标,为效应分子的定量分析提供了新的思路.适体酶不仅在基因组学和蛋白质组学中应用,而且在生物传感器和DNA分子逻辑研究中具有潜在的应用前景.

Aptazymes are a new artificial synzyme, selected from the random oligonucleotide sequence libraries against various of effector molecules. They own the advantages of an aptamer（the receptor site） and the ribozyme （the catalytic active site）. Moreover, aptazymes as catalytic molecular beacon provide a new orientation for the quantitative analysis of effector molecules. Aptazymes not only have the application in genomics and proteomics, but also have potential applications in biosensor and DNA AND gate.
