摘要
Aptamers are structural single-stranded oligonucleotides generated in vitro to bind to a specific target molecule. Aptamers' versatility can be enhanced with nucleic acid mimics (NAMs) during or after a selection process, also known as systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). We address advantages and limitations of the technologies used to generate NAM aptamers, especially the applicability of existing engineered polymerases to replicate NAMs and methodologies to improve aptamers after SELEX. We also discuss the limitations of existing methods for sequencing NAM sequences and bioinformatic tools to predict NAM aptamer structures. As a conclusion, we suggest that NAM aptamers might successfully compete with molecular tools based on proteins such as antibodies for future application.
