1.
Yu H, Canoura J, Byrd C, Alkhamis O, Bacon A, Yan A, et al.
J Am Chem Soc . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40053911
The affinity of nucleic acid aptamers isolated via Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) is often limited because the entire potential sequence space cannot be screened. In this...

Wang L, Canoura J, Byrd C, Nguyen T, Alkhamis O, Ly P, et al.
ACS Cent Sci . 2024 Dec; 10(12):2213-2228. PMID: 39735321
Aptamers are oligonucleotide-based affinity reagents that are increasingly being used in various applications. Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) has been widely used to isolate aptamers for small-molecule...

Wang L, Alkhamis O, Canoura J, Yu H, Xiao Y
J Am Chem Soc . 2024 Jul; 146(31):21296-21307. PMID: 39042584
Aptamers are nucleic acid bioreceptors that have been widely utilized for a variety of biosensing applications, including detection methods that would not be possible with antibody-based systems. However, it remains...
5.
Alkhamis O, Canoura J, Wang L, Xiao Y
Sci Adv . 2024 Jun; 10(24):eadl3426. PMID: 38865469
Conventional directed evolution methods offer the ability to select bioreceptors with high binding affinity for a specific target in terms of thermodynamic properties. However, there is a lack of analogous...
6.
Canoura J, Alkhamis O, Venzke M, Ly P, Xiao Y
JACS Au . 2024 Apr; 4(3):1059-1072. PMID: 38559723
Opioids collectively cause over 80,000 deaths in the United States annually. The ability to rapidly identify these compounds in seized drug samples on-site will be essential for curtailing trafficking and...
