Peptide sequences, biorecognition

Nucleic acid research and detection continues to receive enormous attention from researchers because of their association with various genetic diseases and disorders as well as cancer. Various pathogens also show unique nucleic acid sequences that have been utilized in biosensors for their detection. Nucleic acids including single-strand DNA, peptide nucleic acids (PNA), locked nucleic acids, G-quadra-plexes, and DNAzymes have been utilized as biorecognition elements to construct DNA biosensors.
