Preface
Science is a wonderful thing with everyday interesting developments in diverse areas. Ever since the discovery of aptamers, researchers from industry and academia have shown interest in their application, in diverse fields. It is a small molecule with immense potential in various areas such as affinity chromatography, cellular biomarker assay, Western blotting, flow cytometry, medical diagnostics, electrochemical and strip sensors, proteomics, therapeutic delivery of cytostatics, bifunctional conjugates, and photothermal therapy. Along with the abovementioned fields, this book also covers new areas like agriculture and food safety. We are very thankful to Dr. Y.S. Rajput for giving us knowledge about aptamer science. Aptamer makes us curious about its possible applications in diverse areas of biotechnology. Although it is an interesting molecule with vast applications, it is also extremely tedious to get information about all the applica
