Your Form is in Your DNA: Shape-Memory Hydrogels Based on Nucleic Acid Bridging
Trifold stimuli-responsive shape memory in hydrogels is realized by combining donor-acceptor interaction with G-quadruplexes and DNA base pairing.
Finding the Perfect Match: Search for Homologous DNA Sequences during DNA Repair
In his review published in BioEssays, James Haber takes a look at how the ends of a broken chromosome find a template with which to repair such a double-strand break.
Mix and Match Nanobiosensor Design using Self-Assembled DNA Nanostructures
DNA origami nanobiosensor: The binding of the bioanalyte (left) with the ssDNA-associated bioreceptor (center) on the surface of the DNA origami is transduced as a measurable change in properties (right) that can be recognized and quantified by a detector.
Regulating Gene Expression: DNA Provides a Twist
DNA conformation can regulate gene expression, as discussed by Olga Zaytseva and Leonie Quinn in a review in BioEssays.
