Abstract:

AptaKan is a contributed package to the statistical software R and has a in-built Shiny app based Graphical User Interface (GUI). It can be used to analyse data of gold nanoparticles and ampicillin aptamer-based assays. The package is useful for: 1. Analysis of the data based on different statistical models; 2. Diagnostic plots of statistical models; 3. Computing the concentration from fluorescent data with the help of different statistical models; 4. Simulation of dissociation constant (Kd) based on sigmoidal and non-sigmoidal models; 5. Analysing the positivity (significance) of the assay statistically. Moreover, a report of results can be downloaded dynamically using the GUI, generated by applying R packages knitr and rmarkdown. Finally, our package provides a template on handling R’s S4 classes in Shiny. The package can also be implemented on other experimental data too, by arranging the data in specific template.
