A new study in Small introduces a modular protein-DNA platform using covalent, site-specific links to create programmable ...

Others later used a similar approach to create complex three-dimensional DNA structures. However, all of these efforts required complicated manual design to route the scaffold through the entire ...

DNAxiS is the first software tool that lets users design such shapes automatically, using algorithms to determine where to place the short DNA “staples” to join the longer DNA rings together and hold ...

The drawing is one of the first to show the double-helix structure of DNA--Nature's blueprint for the design of sea snails, human beings, and every other living form on earth. Few could have ...

Further, the DNA design allows the channel to be selectively opened and closed by means of a hinged lid, equipped with a lock and key mechanism. The "keys" consist of sequence-specific DNA strands ...

This design flexibility is achieved by taking advantage of a new technique that uses DNA bases that do not have a pair on the scaffold strand to bridge the gap. The program, called PERDIX, is ...

Citation: DNA does design: 3D plasmonic photonic crystals are the first devices prepared by DNA-guided colloidal crystallization (2015, January 14) retrieved 7 March 2025 from https://phys.org ...

A fiber sensor inspired by the shape of DNA, developed by researchers at Shinshu University, introduces a new design for more durable, flexible fiber sensors in wearables. Traditional fiber ...

"Your DNA profile is completely unique to you unless you have an identical twin," she said. "It's your design for life. It makes you who you are. It's another reflection of yourself." Once DesigNA ...

In 2008, casual DNA-design competitions with small prizes arose; then in 2011, with the launch of GE’s $100 million breast-cancer challenge, the field moved on to serious contests. By early ...
