We have designed a new class of molecules, which we term aptamer beacons, for detecting a wide range of ligands. Similar to molecular beacons, aptamer beacons can adopt two or more conformations, one of which allows ligand binding. A fluorescence-quenching pair is used to report changes in conformat

Herein, we present an ultrasensitive protein-detection protocol based on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) quenching through capture of ferrocene-labeled ligand-bound aptamer molecular beacon (MB). Our device included two main parts: a solid-state ECL sensing platform and an ECL switch. The sensing pla
