Aptamer-induced self-assembly of a NIR-emissive platinum(II) terpyridyl complex for label- and immobilization-free detection of lysozyme and thrombin

With the aptamer-induced self-assembly feature of NIR-emissive platinum(II) terpyridyl complex, a “proof-of-principle” concept in label- and immobilization-free probing strategies of lysozyme and thrombin has been demonstrated with good selectivity and specificity.
