Ribonuclease-responsive DNA Nanoswitches
A DNA nanoswitch that provides a simple mix-and-read methodology to detect RNases (ribonucleases) in a biological sample. Background: RNases are involved in many biological processes including neurotoxicity, genome replication and maintenance, immune-suppression, and antitumor activity. RNase inhibitors are also potential drug candidates and biomarkers...
