چکیده
Two engineered DNA nanostructures consisting of a nucleic acid functional hairpin and a DNA "tweezers" assembly act as pH-switchable devices for the "ON-OFF" activation/deactivation of the horseradish-peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme.

Autonomous Programmable Nanorobotic Devices Using DNAzymes
A major challenge in nanoscience is the design of synthetic molecular devices that run autonomously and are programmable. DNA-based synthetic molecular devices have the advantage of being relatively simple to design and engineer, due to the predictable secondary structure of DNA nanostructures and the well-established biochemistry used to manipulate DNA nanostructures. We present the design of ...
متن کاملAutonomous programmable DNA nanorobotic devices using DNAzymes
A major challenge in nanoscience is the design of synthetic molecular devices that run autonomously (that is, without externally mediated changes per work-cycle) and are programmable (that is, their behavior can be modified without complete redesign of the device). DNA-based synthetic molecular devices have the advantage of being relatively simple to design and engineer, due to the predictable ...
متن کاملProgrammable Mg(2+)-dependent DNAzyme switch by the catalytic hairpin DNA assembly for dual-signal amplification toward homogeneous analysis of protein and DNA.
The catalytic hairpin DNA assembly-programmed active Mg(2+)-dependent DNAzyme was proposed for dual-signal amplified detection toward protein and DNA. The protein detection was implemented with the further combination of an additional terminal protection strategy. The detection limit toward avidin and target DNA could be achieved as 2 pM and 0.5 pM, respectively, with a high selectivity.
متن کاملControlling the function of DNA nanostructures with specific trigger sequences.
We report a hybridization-based switching mechanism with single-base specificity that can be readily integrated with functional DNA nanostructures. As an exemplar, we have developed a switchable DNAzyme (SDZ) that only becomes activated in the presence of a perfectly matched trigger sequence and operates effectively at room temperature.
متن کاملUltrathin Covalently Bound Organic Layers on Mica: Formation of Atomically Flat Biofunctionalizable Surfaces
Mica is the substrate of choice for microscopic visualization of a wide variety of intricate nanostructures. Unfortunately, the lack of a facile strategy for its modification has prevented the on-mica assembly of nanostructures. Herein, we disclose a convenient catechol-based linker that enables various surface-bound metal-free click reactions, and an easy modification of mica with DNA nanostru...
