Abstract

DNA aptamers that enhance calcium phosphate mineral formation were identified using a novel precipitation SELEX method. The evolved DNA library was substantially enriched in G nucleotides and in predicted G-quadruplex structures, suggesting their importance in the mechanism of mineralization. This work could readily be extended to provide additional novel DNA aptamers for materials synthesis.
