A proton-fuelled DNA nanomachine.
The molecular-recognition properties of DNA are sufficiently well understood to enable the self-assembly of defined structures and devices on the nanometer scale. DNA machines based on a competing hybridization mechanism have been reported. These nanomachines are fuelled by complementary oligonucleotides and accumulate doublestranded DNA waste products that poison the system. Herein we report a...
متن کاملSV40 DNA replication: from the A gene to a nanomachine.
Duplication of the simian virus 40 (SV40) genome is the best understood eukaryotic DNA replication process to date. Like most prokaryotic genomes, the SV40 genome is a circular duplex DNA organized in a single replicon. This small viral genome, its association with host histones in nucleosomes, and its dependence on the host cell milieu for replication factors and precursors led to its adoption...
متن کاملAntibody-powered nucleic acid release using a DNA-based nanomachine
A wide range of molecular devices with nanoscale dimensions have been recently designed to perform a variety of functions in response to specific molecular inputs. Only limited examples, however, utilize antibodies as regulatory inputs. In response to this, here we report the rational design of a modular DNA-based nanomachine that can reversibly load and release a molecular cargo on binding to ...
متن کاملImproved performance of a DNA nanomachine by cationic copolymers.
We have reported previously that the cationic comb-type copolymer, PLL-g-Dex, accelerated DNA strand exchange reaction while stabilizing DNA duplexes. In this research, we studied the effects of PLL-g-Dex on a DNA-fueled nanomachine. The copolymer enabled rapid and secure operations of the DNA nanomachine which utilized the structural transition between intramolecular G-quadruplex and intermole...
متن کاملRotary DNA motors.
Many molecular motors move unidirectionally along a DNA strand powered by nucleotide hydrolysis. These motors are multimeric ATPases with more than one hydrolysis site. We present here a model for how these motors generate the requisite force to process along their DNA track. This novel mechanism for force generation is based on a fluctuating electrostatic field driven by nucleotide hydrolysis....
