Extended in vitro selection for synthesis of novel molecular recognition oligonucleotide derivatives

Abstract
In vitro selection of RNA aptamer containing biotin-carrying nucleotide was carried out used for development of a new type of molecular sensor. Cytidine 5′-triphosphate (CTP) carrying biotinyl group at the N6-position was used in this technique. A pool of biotin-containing RNAs, which binds specifically to adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP), was obtained and used for competitive binding assay of ATP. The selected nonnatural RNA possesses many biotinyl groups to render it a high sensitivity toward ATP.
