Nucleic acid biosensors for environmental pollution monitoring

Nucleic acid biosensors for environmental pollution monitoring / edited by Marco Mascini and Ilaria Palchetti.

Nucleic acids are the fundamental building blocks of life and are found in all living things. In recent years, their functions have been shown to extend beyond the Watson-Crick base pair recognition of complementary strands. Molecules (known as aptamers) consisting of 40-50 nucleotides have been iso...
