The photosensitizer drugs segment is further categorized into
Hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD), Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), Benzoporphyrin derivative (BPD), Texaphyrins, Chlorins and Dyes.
Several GQ aptamers for small organic molecules have been described in the literature, for example,
hematoporphyrin IX, hemin, ochratoxin, and ATP [78], and some were already used for the development of GQ electrochemical biosensors.
One of the main reasons for disorders of the erythrocyte oxygen-transporting function is the conformational change of hemoglobin
hematoporphyrin (Hb) and hemoglobin oxygen affinity ([O.sub.2]).
