Synthesis and self-assembly of DNA-chromophore hybrid amphiphiles.
DNA based spherical nanostructures are one of the promising nanostructures for several biomedical and biotechnological applications due to their excellent biocompatibility and DNA-directed surface addressability. Herein, we report the synthesis and amphiphilicity-driven self-assembly of two classes of DNA (hydrophilic)-chromophore (hydrophobic) hybrid amphiphiles into spherical nanostructures. ...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of model DNA-binding peptide amphiphiles.
Peptide amphiphiles combine the specific functionality of proteins with the engineering convenience of synthetic amphiphiles. These molecules covalently link a peptide headgroup, typically from an active fragment of a larger protein, to a hydrophobic alkyl tail. Our research is aimed at forming and characterizing covalently stabilized, self-assembled, peptide-amphiphile aggregates that can be u...
متن کاملTuning the pH-triggered self-assembly of dendritic peptide amphiphiles using fluorinated side chains.
We report the synthesis of a series of anionic dendritic peptide amphiphiles of increasing hydrophobic character. By establishing state diagrams we describe their pH and ionic strength triggered self-assembly into supramolecular nanorods in water and highlight the impact of hydrophobic shielding in the supramolecular polymerisation process. Via the incorporation of fluorinated peptide side chai...
متن کاملThe role of spacers on the self-assembly of DNA aptamer-amphiphiles into micelles and nanotapes.
The self-assembly of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer-amphiphiles was influenced by the choice of spacer used to link the hydrophobic tail and aptamer headgroup. Aptamer-amphiphiles without spacers or with hydrophilic spacers formed globular micelles while amphiphiles with hydrophobic spacers formed bilayer nanotapes, which are the first such structures formed by DNA-amphiphiles.
متن کاملDNA nanotubes and helical nanotapes via self-assembly of ssDNA-amphiphiles.
DNA nanotubes were created using molecular self-assembly of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-amphiphiles composed of a hydrophobic dialkyl tail and polycarbon spacer and a hydrophilic ssDNA headgroup. The nanotube structures were formed by bilayers of amphiphiles, with the hydrophobic components forming an inner layer that was shielded from the aqueous solvent by an outer layer of ssDNA. The nanotub...
