Cross-linking within nanostructures directed by triplex recognition

Aug 21st 2012, 09:01

In a paper published in ChemComm in collaboration with David Rusling, Iris Nandhakumar and Keith Fox, we have shown that triplex recognition can be exploited to form covalent inter-strand cross-links within DNA nanostructures. This opens up the possibility of synthesizing new types of stable nanostructures.
