Designing DNA From Scratch: Engineering the Functions of Micrometer-Sized DNA Droplets
Controllability and dynamic functions of DNA microstructures
Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have constructed "DNA droplets" comprising designed DNA nanostructures. The droplets exhibit dynamic functions such as fusion, fission, Janus-shape formation, and protein capture. Their technique is expected to be applicable to a wide variety of biomaterials, opening doors to many promising applications in materials design, drug delivery, and even artificial cell-like molecular systems.
