  • Publication number: 20170153235
    Abstract: An aptamer for specifically detecting patulin and a method for detecting patulin using the same. The aptamer for specifically detecting patulin is a single-stranded DNA aptamer serving as a bioreceptor capable of effectively detecting patulin. Since such an aptamer for specifically detecting patulin is capable of specifically binding to patulin which is a mycotoxin having a simple chemical structure and a low molecular weight, it can be effectively employed as a bioreceptor in various bioassays for specifically detecting patulin. The aptamer for specifically detecting patulin can achieve more effective detection of patulin in apples or apple juice.
