Structural characterization of the saxitoxin-targeting APTSTX1 aptamer using optical tweezers and molecular dynamics simulations.

Structural characterization of the saxitoxin-targeting APTSTX1 aptamer using optical tweezers and molecular dynamics simulations.

Optical tweezers have enabled the exploration of picoNewton forces and dynamics in single-molecule systems such as DNA and molecular motors. In this work, we used optical tweezers to study the folding/unfolding dynamics of the APTSTX1-aptamer, a single-stranded DNA molecule with high affinity for sa...
