Abstract
The subject invention provides methods, assays, and products for detecting small-molecule targets in a complex sample in both clinical and field settings. The subject invention provides aptamer-based sensors and methods of use thereof. The subject invention provides exonuclease-based methods for generating structure-switching aptamers from fully folded or pre-folded aptamers and developing aptamer-based sensors for small-molecule detection. The method for detecting one or more small-molecule targets in a sample comprises contacting the sample with one or more aptamer-based sensor selective for each of the small-molecule targets, and detecting the small-molecule target in the sample.
