Practical applications of three-way junction structural motifs with (mostly) Steven Taylor, Renjun Pei
More on junctions: Kallenbach & Seeman, 1990s’, Kato’s group 1999
What do we do with crossreactive junctions? Cocaine Corticosterone Cholic acid + + - - + + Stojanovic et al, JACS, 2003
In a way, two sensors together are more powerful: … and even more sensors make cross-reactive array
But, first, we find suitable sensors: Yingfu Li, JACS 2003. Pei&Shen
High-resolution CRA for alkaloids (and steroids) Pei&Shen, Olah
Recognition of diastereomers: 4 3 3 3 4 4 2 1 1 1 2 2 Pei&Shen
Visualization and analysis Pei&Shen, Olah
Practical applications: Detection of Inborn Errors in Steroid Metabolism -e.g.: congenital adrenal hyperplasia (all types), errors in bile acid metabolism.
We set up an assay: Taylor, Pei et al. Angew. Chem., 2009
What can we release from an aptamer with quinine? Taylor et al. Angew. Chem., 2009
Can we mimic the pattern of natural release? Taylor et al. Angew. Chem.
