Abstract

This chapter mainly introduces the functional nucleic acid detection methods of 12 other metal ions in addition to the previous three chapters. Functional nucleic acid as a detection element is mainly used to construct various functional nucleic acid biosensors. These 12 ions mainly include some active metals of the first and second main groups and three kinds of transition metals (Fe2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Mn2+) as well as lanthanide ions and uranyl ions. Among them, there are many methods for detecting functional nucleic acids of potassium ions.
