Aptamer binding is based on their conformational structure. Does the free 5' end or 3' end affects aptamer binding with the target receptor.. .???
it depends. for some aptamers one can modify 3' or 5' or both termini- and it will still bind the target well. but sometimes (depending on the aptamer, target, and nature of terminal modification) performance is compromised
Thankyou Alexander. Your answer has really help me a lot to clear my doubt regarding aptamer binding.
