Performing DNA nanotechnology operations on a zebrafish [PDF]
, 2018 Nanoscale engineering of surfaces is becoming an indispensable technique to modify membranes and, thus cellular behaviour. Here, such membrane engineering related was explored on the surface of a living animal using DNA nanotechnology. We demonstrate the

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Bioinspired Spindles using Peptide-DNA Nanotechnology [PDF]
, 2022 Cytoskeletal assemblies produce functionality through multiscale structural reconfiguration by exploiting a family of protein crosslinkers. Inspired by these principles, we designed an array of complementary peptide-DNA monomers able to form ...
