We functionalize nucleic acid nanostructures with click chemistry (for attachment of cargos) and a photocleavable linker (for release). We demonstrate cargo attachment using a fluorescein dye and release using UV trigger from an RNA three-way junction, a DNA star motif and a DNA tetrahedron. Such multifunctional nucleic acid nanostructures have potential in targeted drug delivery.
我们使用点击化学(用于连接负载物)和光可裂解连接子(用于释放)对核酸纳米结构进行功能化。我们使用荧光染料进行负载物连接,并使用 RNA 三链结、DNA 星型结构和 DNA 四面体的 UV 触发进行释放。这种多功能核酸纳米结构在靶向药物输送方面具有潜力。
