Aptamers are short, single-stranded DNA or RNA (ssDNA or ssRNA) molecules that can selectively bind to a specific target, including proteins, peptides, carbohydrates, small molecules, toxins, and even live cells. Aptamers assume a variety of shapes due to their tendency to form helices and single-stranded loops. Like monoclonal antibodies, aptamers can be used for the molecular recognition of their respective targets. Aptamers have been successfully used for pathogen recognition, cancer recognition, monitoring environmental contamination, and as stem cell markers.

Aptamers are oligonucleotides, such as ribonucleic acid (RNA) and single-strand deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA) or peptide molecules that can bind to their targets with high affinity and specificity due to their specific three-dimensional structures.
