The results of the study, published in the journal Science Advances, showed that modified DNA structures could be the basis for creating new materials with unique properties.
The study was conducted by University School of Medicine professor Chad Mirkin and colleagues. They developed ways to manipulate the chemical structure of DNA to produce circular structures that can interact with proteins and other molecules in the environment; This is something not possible with linear DNA.
The research highlights the potential of DNA as a programmable building block that can create unique materials at the nanoscale, including polymers, nanoparticles and biomolecules that could revolutionize the development of new technologies and treatments.
