“…The plot of intensity against the complex concentration over a 2-h interval obtained a sigmoidal fit with a steep rise between 10 nM and 100 nM (Section S4, Supplementary File S7). This showed that the model is sensitive to changes in the concentration of the trigger miRNA biomarker in the range of interest, satisfying a necessary biosensor property [ 25 , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] ]. A similar trend of sigmoidal kinetics was observed for the hsa-miR-20a-5p biomarker over a complex concentration range of 100 nM and 1 μM (Supplementary File S7).…”
