A Fluorescence Kinetic-Based Aptasensor Employing Stilbene Isomerization for Detection of Thrombin

It is important to detect thrombin due to its physiological and pathological roles, where rapid and simple analytical approaches are needed. In this study, an aptasensor based on fluorescence attenuation kinetics for the detection of thrombin is presented, which incorporates the features of stilbene...
