Generation And Characterisation Of RNA Aptamers Against ESAT6 Protein From Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

Aptamers are chemical ligands made up of short nucleotides sequences that are able to bind to target proteins with high affinity and specificity. They are generated using a process called Systemic Evolution of Ligands via Exponential Enrichment (SELEX). Due to their chemical stability and high speci...
