A label-free thrombin binding aptamer as a probe for highly sensitive and selective detection of lead(ii) ions by a resonance Rayleigh scattering method

Abstract

The binding of lead(II) ions with unusually high affinity to a thrombin binding aptamer resulted in an enhancement of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS). A simple, sensitive, and selective assay for the direct determination of trace amounts of Pb2+ on the basis of RRS has been proposed.
