DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL FLUORESCENCE ASSAY BASED ON THE USE OF THE THROMBIN-BINDING APTAMER FOR THE DETECTION OF O6-ALKYLGUANINE-DNA ALKYLTRANSFERASE ACTIVITY

Development of a Novel Fluorescence Assay Based on the Use of the Thrombin-Binding Aptamer for the Detection of O6-Alkylguanine-DNA Alkyltransferase Activity

Human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) is a DNA repair protein that reverses the effects of alkylating agents by removing DNA adducts from the O6 position of guanine.Here, we developed a real-time fluorescence hAGT activity assay bible flask that is based on the detection of conformational changes of the thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA).Th
