Membrane‐Penetrating Molecular Device Based on a Triplex Containing Acyclic L‐Threoninol Nucleic Acid Functionalized with Cholesterol

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A membrane‐penetrating molecular device composed of triplex containing cholesterol‐modified acyclic L‐threoninol nucleic acid (L‐aTNA) was achieved. This device is applied to a photo‐triggered signal transduction system functioning on giant unilamellar vesicles. Abstract Membrane‐penetrating molecular devices are valuable biological tools.
