Table 1. Aptamer surface density as a function of thrombin binding and efficiency for SAMs formed with different thymidine linkers.
Entry | Thiol-linked aptamer | Surface density of aptamer in the mixed SAM (pmol•cm-2)a | Maximum thrombin bound to the mixed SAM (pmol•cm-2) | Thrombin/Aptamer ratio at saturation (%) |
