Figure 1

Comparison of the sequence identities of the used ampicillin aptamer (A) and the CRP aptamer (B). The different colors stand for the specific sequences, however, the ATG sequence (purple) occurs several times in the CRP aptamer sequence (not all identities are shown). Sequence identities with more than two nucleotides in a row of the ampicillin aptamer (y axis) and the CRP aptamer (x axis) are shown in the dot blot (C). Dot blot was created using a by M. Kohl modified function from the package “seqinr”.
