DNA is a major player in the field of bio-nanotechnology and many interesting applications have been realized using this oligonucleotide. In contrast, the use of peptide nucleic acid (PNA), which is a non-natural, neutral analogue of DNA with superior hybridization strengths compared to DNA, is still in its infancy in bio-nanotechnology. However, as demonstrated in this short review using selec...

Abstract Dynamic DNA nanotechnology aims at the realization of molecular machines, devices, and dynamic chemical systems using molecules. is used to assemble components these systems, define interactions between components, in many cases also as a fuel that drives them hybridization energy. Except for biosensing, applications devices have so far been limited proof-of-concept demonstrations, par...
