Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton
Aptamer Notes:
Aptamer is a peptide or an oligonucleotide molecule that binds to a target molecule such as proteins whose activity will be modified once they are adhered to the aptamers. Usually natural aptamers exist in the riboswitches, but aptamers are usually made by choosing them from a large pool of random sequences.
