"Click on the bidirectional switch": the aptasensor for simultaneous detection of lysozyme and ATP with high sensitivity and high selectivity.

ABSTRACT: A bifunctional and simple aptasensor was designed to one-spot simultaneously detect two analytes, lysozyme and ATP. The aptasensor was obtained by the electronic interaction between methyl violet (MV) and dsDNA. The dsDNA was obtained by hybridization of ATP aptamer and lysozyme aptamer. And we used the resonance light scattering (RLS) technique to detect the concentration of lysozyme and ATP. During the procedure of detection, the aptasensor works like a bidirectional switch, the corresponding side of the dsDNA will open when the target (lysozyme or ATP) "click" the aptamer, which results in corresponding RLS signal change. By the combination of the RLS technique, it is found that the changed RLS intensity was proportional to the concentration of lysozyme and ATP. The mixtures of ATP and
