The invention relates to the technical field of detection sensors and particularly relates to an electrochemical aptamer electrode for kanamycin detection. Graphene-polyaniline compound, polyamide-amine dendritic high molecule-gold nano compound, kanamycin anti-body are modified on a glass carbon electrode in sequence from bottom to up; the surface of the electrode is sealed with BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) and single chain DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) containing 10 adenine nucleotide. The preparation method is simple, stable in performance and good in electrode repeating performance and is suitable for practical applications of kanamycin detection in food safety and bio-sensor industrialization; the prepared electrode is low in technical cost and is suitable for the requirement of low cost in industrialization; according to a sandwich type electrochemical sensing system fixed by using the glass carbon electrode as a fixing carrier and based on a DNA aptamer, rapid and online kanamycin detection in food is realized and the detection limit is 4.6x10<-6>mu gmL<-1>.

The present invention relates to adenine nucleotide translocator 2 (ANT2) siRNA (small interfering RNA) or ANT2 shRNA (short hairpin RNA) suppressing the expression of ANT2 gene expression and anticancer agent containing the same. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for treating breast cancers or stem cells of a breast cancer by treating the same with ANT2 siRNA or ANT2 shRNA. In addition, the invention provides a method for inhibiting metastasis of breast cancer cells with ANT2 siRNA or ANT2 shRNA.

The structure of a soluble, functional fragment of human Apaf-1 protein having ADP bound thereto is disclosed. The invention includes such soluble, functional fragments of human Apaf-1 and other metazoan Apaf-1 homologs. Also included in the invention are methods of making such fragments and methods of using them, for example in screening methods to identify adenine nucleotide analogs and other compounds useful for alleviating or preventing disease conditions associated with inappropriate regulation of apoptosis.

A method of search for and identification of a eukaryotic IRES element active in cap-independent translation of RNA in eukaryotic cells is provided, comprising the following steps: i) screening eukaryotic mRNA sequences or corresponding DNA sequences for a potential IRES element having a block of nucleotides having: a) a length of at least 30 nucleotides; b) an adenine nucleotide content of at least 40 mol-%; and c) a pyrimidine nucleotide content of less than 40 mol-%; ii) inserting said potential IRES element into a linear dicistronic construct between an upstream gene and a downstream GUS reporter gene, whereby said potential IRES element is positioned for IRES-dependent translation of said downstream GUS gene and whereby said upstream gene is preceded by a stable hairpin structure to prevent IRES-independent translation of said genes; and iii) testing said potential IRES element for IRES-dependent translation of said GUS gene in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate or in a wheat germ extract in vitro translation assay, whereby GUS gene expression is quantitated preferably relative to a construct having a reference IRES element or a non-IRES element between said upstream gene and said GUS gene.
