Abstract

Abstract : The reversible assembly of single‐stranded DNA aptamers on redox‐active nanoceria particles, as presented by S. Andreescu and team on page 822, can be induced or resolved in response to a molecular target. Application of this mechanism for the design of a biomolecular aptaswitch for detection of ochratoxin A is demonstrated.
