Analysis of the role played by ligand-induced folding of the cocaine-binding aptamer in the photochrome aptamer switch assay by Shoara, Aron A., Churcher, Zachary R., Steele, Terry W. J., Johnson, Philip E.

“…Fluorescence anisotropy measurements were used to quantify the affinity of the conjugated aptamer to cocaine. We also used thermal melt analysis and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to show that the addition of the stilbene to the aptamer increases the melt temperature of the cocaine-bound structure-switching aptamer by (6.4 ± 0.3) °C compared to the unconjugated aptamer while the free form of the structure-switching aptamer-stilbene conjugate remains unfolded.…”
