Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019
Aptamers refer to short strands of nucleic acids or peptide molecules capable of
forming secondary and tertiary structures.
These molecules bind specifically to the
cellular targets and are created by selecting randomly from the complex libraries of
synthetic nucleic acids.
These receptor molecules can be modified in order to
enhance the stability and availability in biological environments.
Aptamers possess
potential applications in research, clinical, industrial and medical areas.
Since the
1990s, aptamers have been tested for their clinical relevance.
Aptamers are
chemically equivalent to protein therapeutics and are highly specific, nonimmunogenic and small in size.
Despite of its advantages over protein therapeutics,
aptamers are not able to establish their strong presence in the market.
According to
a research study published in 2010, till date only one aptamer based drug has
