Abstract excerpt
We have demonstrated the self-assembled DNA nanoparticles capable of controlled disassembly in response to a single nucleotide change (SNC) in a target nucleic acid. The DNA nanoparticles (avg diameter=51+/-22 nm) were constructed by joining two types of streptavidin-DNA conjugates with 2 molar equiv of a linker strand that carries complementary sequences to both conjugates. Nanoparticle disassembly triggered by...
