Another nucleic acid sensor, also based on the affinity between the analyte and the receptor immobilized on the surface, is reported as an example of the most recent trend in the field. This receptor, called aptamer, acts as capturing receptor for a molecule in solution, such as a protein. An aptasensor developed for a specific protein will be reported.
