Abstract
Serving as the basis of cell life, interactions between nucleic acids and proteins play essential roles in fundamental cellular processes. Aptamers are unique single-stranded oligonucleotides generated by in vitro evolution methods, possessing the ability to interact with proteins specifically. Altering the structure of aptamers will largely modulate their interactions with proteins and further affect related cellular behaviors. Recently, with the in-depth research of aptamer-protein interactions, the analytical assays based on their interactions have been widely developed and become a powerful tool for biomolecular detection. There are some insightful reviews on aptamers applied in protein detection, while few systematic discussions are from the perspective of regulating aptamer-protein interactions. Herein, we comprehensively introduce the methods for regulating aptamer-protein interactions and elaborate on the detection techniques for analyzing aptamer-protein interactions. Additionally, this review provides a broad summary of analytical assays based on the regulation of aptamer-protein interactions for detecting biomolecules. Finally, we present our perspectives regarding the opportunities and challenges of analytical assays for biological analysis, aiming to provide guidance for disease mechanism research and drug discovery.

Abstract
Regulation of protein activity is essential for revealing the molecular mechanisms of biological processes. DNA and RNA achieve many uniquely efficient functions, such as genetic expression and regulation. The chemical capability to synthesize artificial nucleotides can expand the chemical space of nucleic acid libraries and further increase the functional diversity of nucleic acids. Herein, a versatile method has been developed for modular expansion of the chemical space of nucleic acid libraries, thus enabling the generation of aptamers able to regulate protein activity. Specifically, an aptamer that targets integrin alpha3 was identified and this aptamer can inhibit cell adhesion and migration. Overall, this chemical-design-assisted in vitro selection approach enables the generation of functional nucleic acids for elucidating the molecular basis of biological activities and uncovering a novel basis for the rational design of new protein-inhibitor pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
This report discusses the identification of a Zn(2+)- and Cd(2+)-binding protein of Xenopus laevis that is abundant in vitellogenic oocytes and in embryos from fertilization to stage 46. Oocyte or embryo homogenates were fractionated by SDS-PAGE, blotted onto nitrocellulose, and probed with 65Zn2+ or 109Cd2+. The resulting autoradiograms showed binding of both radionuclides to a protein, designated pCdZn. Freon extraction of oocyte and embryo homogenates showed pCdZn to be a yolk protein. When pCdZn was isolated from oocyte homogenates by ammonium sulfate precipitation, delipidation, and chromatography, it co-purified with lipovitellin 1. The amino acid composition of pCdZn closely resembled the reported composition of lipovitellin 1 and the molecular weight of purified pCdZn (approximately 115 kD) corresponded to reported values for lipovitellin 1 (111-121 kD). Amino acid sequence analyses of five peptides derived from pCdZn yielded 94% identity to the reported sequence of lipovitellin 1, deduced from the DNA sequence of the Xenopus vitellogenin A2 precursor gene. Based on these findings, pCdZn was identified as lipovitellin 1. This study suggests that lipovitellin 1 is the major storage protein for zinc in mature oocytes and developing embryos of Xenopus laevis.
