Provided herein are structures and methods for detecting one or more analyte molecules present in a sample. In some embodiments, the one or more analyte molecules are detected using one or more supramolecular structures. In some embodiments, the supramolecular structures are bi-stable, wherein the supramolecular structures shift from an unstable state to a stable state through interaction with one or more analyte molecules from the sample. In some embodiments, the stable state supramolecular structures are configured to provide a signal for analyte molecule detection and quantification.

Provided herein are structures and methods for detecting one or more analyte molecules present in a sample. In some embodiments, the one or more analyte molecules are detected using one or more supramolecular structures that are coupled to a substrate, e.g., a solid support. In some embodiments, the supramolecular structures are bi-stable, wherein the supramolecular structures transition from an unstable state to a stable state through interaction with one or more analyte molecules from the sample. In some embodiments, the stable state supramolecular structures are configured to provide a signal for analyte molecule detection and quantification.
An affinity reagent, having: (a) a retaining component such as a structured nucleic acid particle; and (b) one or both of (i) one or more label components attached to the retaining component, and (ii) one or more binding components attached to the retaining component.
Methods and systems for identifying a protein within a sample are provided herein. A panel of antibodies are acquired, none of which are specific for a single protein or family of proteins. Additionally, the binding properties of the antibodies in the panel are determined. Further, the protein is iteratively exposed to a panel of antibodies. Additionally, a set of antibodies which bind the protein are determined. The identity of the protein is determined using one or more deconvolution methods based on the known binding properties of the antibodies to match the set of antibodies to a sequence of a protein.
