title: Rational design of an optical adenosine sensor by conjugating a DNA aptamer with split DNAzyme halves.
abstract: Split halves of a hemin-binding DNAzyme have been assembled with an anti-adenosine aptamer to build a homogeneous allosteric sensor for adenosine with high selectivity and sensitivity.
