Reversible Ag(+)-crosslinked DNA hydrogels.
DNA hydrogels, consisting of Y-shaped nucleic acid subunits or of nucleic acid-functionalized acrylamide chains, undergo switchable gel-to-solution transitions. The Ag(+)-stimulated formation of cytosine-Ag(+)-cytosine complexes results in the crosslinking of the units to yield the hydrogels, while the cysteamine-induced elimination of the Ag(+) ions dissociates the hydrogels into a solution ph...
متن کاملDNA nanotechnology gets real
In the beginning there was the cube. Nadrian Seeman and coworkers at New York University set out in the early 1990s to construct a nanometre scale cube from DNA. The idea was to use the highly sophisticated methods of molecular biology to build DNA into something new and entirely artificial. Linking DNA fragments together by means of hybridisation of overlapping ends followed by ligation, Seema...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Quantum Cosmology ∗ — Shaken not stirred
The canonical quantization of N = 1, 2 supergravity theories is reviewed throughout this report. Special emphasis is consigned to the topic of supersymmetric Bianchi class-A and FRW minisuperspaces, namely in the presence of supermatter fields. The quantization of the general theory (including supermatter) is also contemplated. The issue of quantum physical states is subsequently analysed. A di...
متن کاملShape and aggregation control of nanoparticles: not shaken, not stirred.
The aggregation of nanoparticles during synthesis, particularly the effect of mechanical agitation, is investigated from a viewpoint of nucleation using a conjugated polymer, polyaniline, as an example. Homogeneous nucleation of polyaniline results in nanofibers, while heterogeneous nucleation leads to granular particulates. Mechanical agitation, which is a common method for disrupting aggregat...
متن کاملGolgi inheritance: shaken but not stirred
What is the fate of the mammalian Golgi apparatus during mitosis? This seemingly simple question has become part of the wider debate concerning the nature of the Golgi apparatus and the mechanism of secretory protein transport. At the heart of this debate is the question of whether the Golgi is an organelle with its own separate identity, or a complex transport intermediate containing secretory...
