摘要
We coin a term of "smart aptamers", which describes aptamers with predefined binding parameters of their interaction with the target. Here, we introduce a method for selection of smart aptamers with predefined values of Kd: equilibrium capillary electrophoresis of equilibrium mixtures (ECEEM). Conceptually, a mixture of a target with a DNA (RNA) library is prepared and equilibrated. A plug of the equilibrium mixture is injected into a capillary prefilled with a run buffer containing the target at the concentration identical to the target concentration in the equilibrium mixture. The components of the equilibrium mixture are separated by capillary electrophoresis while equilibrium is maintained between the target and aptamers. The unique feature of ECEEM is that aptamers with different Kd values migrate with different and predictable mobilities. Thus, collecting fractions with different mobilities results in smart aptamers with different and predefined Kd values. In this proof-of-principle work, we used ECEEM to select smart aptamers for MutS protein, for which aptamers have never been previously selected. Three rounds of ECEEM-based selection were sufficient to obtain smart aptamers with Kd values approaching theoretically predicted ones. ECEEM is the first method for aptamer selection whose ability to generate smart aptamers has been experimentally proven. Copyright © 2005 American Chemical Society.
