Herein, the DNA strands containing 5'-(CGA) and consecutive guanines are used to construct supramolecular DNA nanostructures that are size-controlled by pH values. Additionally, the introduction of thymine linkers within DNA nanostructures is necessary to maintain the stability of long-sized nanostructures. This work also demonstrates a method for accurately building DNA nanostructures.
在此,含有5'-(CGA)和连续鸟嘌呤的DNA链被用于构建超分子DNA纳米结构,其尺寸由pH值控制。此外,在DNA纳米结构中引入胸腺嘧啶连接体对于维持长尺寸纳米结构的稳定性是必要的。这项工作还展示了一种精确构建DNA纳米结构的方法。
