| Abstract | Aptamer-based biosensors offer promising perspectives for high performance, specific detection of proteins. The thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) is a G-quadruplex-forming DNA sequence, which is frequently elongated at one end to increase its analytical performances in a biosensor configuration. Herein, we investigate how the elongation of TBA at its 5′ end affects its structure and stability. Circular dichroism spectroscopy shows that TBA folds in an antiparallel G-quadruplex conformation with all studied cations $(Ba^{2+},$ $Ca^{2+},$ $K^{+},$ $Mg^{2+},$ $Na^{+},$ $NH_{4}^{+},$ $Sr^{2+}$ and the $[Ru(NH_{3})_{6}]^{2+/3+}$ redox marker) whereas other structures are adopted by the elongated aptamers in the presence of some of these cations. The stability of each structure is evaluated on the basis of UV spectroscopy melting curves. Thermal difference spectra confirm the quadruplex character of all conformations. The elongated sequences can adopt a parallel or an antiparallel structure, depending on the nature of the cation; this can potentially confer an ion-sensitive switch behavior. This switch property is demonstrated with the frequently employed redox complex $[Ru(NH_{3})_{6}]^{3+},$ which induces the parallel conformation at very low concentrations (10 equiv per strand). The addition of large amounts of $K^{+}$ reverts the conformation to the antiparallel form, and opens interesting perspectives for electrochemical biosensing or redox-active responsive devices. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
