Here's @alexandrarosiee's magnum opus from her PhD now out in @ChemicalScience - chemical modifications improve aptamers, but how and where should you modify? We can tell you.... pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Selection of optimised ligands by fluorescence-activated bead sorting†

The chemistry of aptamers is largely limited to natural nucleotides, and although modifications of nucleic acids can enhance target aptamer affinity, there
