Sensors have a vital importance on human life, detecting diseases or contaminants that endanger the environment. A widely pursued challenge has been to develop universal biosensors with the flexibility to detect molecules regardless of their size. Antibodies have been used to fulfill this aim, but single-stranded oligonucleotides (aptamers) interact efficiently with targets and have also been proposed as an alternative. However, aptamers lack the ability for versatile functionalization to tune affinities, and they suffer from highly complex selection and identification. Chem2Sense proposes an interdisciplinary approach to overcome these obstacles. My hypothesis is that a new strategy based…
