Introduction to Self - Assembling DNA
Introduction. DNA, well-known as the predominant chemical for duplication and storage of genetic information in biology, has also recently been shown to be highly useful as an engineering material for construction of special purpose computers and micron-scale objects with nanometer-scale feature resolution. Properly designed synthetic DNA can be thought of as a programmable glue which, via spec...
متن کاملUltrafast energy transfer within pyropheophorbide-a tethered to self-assembling DNA quadruplex.
A DNA quadruplex system that exhibits ultrafast intramolecular energy transfer is discussed.
متن کاملPolycatechol Nanoparticle MRI Contrast Agents.
Amphiphilic triblock copolymers containing Fe(III) -catecholate complexes formulated as spherical- or cylindrical-shaped micellar nanoparticles (SMN and CMN, respectively) are described as new T1-weighted agents with high relaxivity, low cytotoxicity, and long-term stability in biological fluids. Relaxivities of both SMN and CMN exceed those of established gadolinium chelates across a wide rang...
متن کاملContrast agents for hepatic MRI
Liver specific contrast media (LSCM) can be subdivided according to different modalities of hepatic distribution: exclusive distribution to the hepatocellular compartment can be obtained using CM which accumulate within the hepatocytes after slow infusion; other CM demonstrate combined perfusion and hepatocyte-selective properties, with an initial distribution to the vascular-interstitial compa...
متن کاملAmphiphilic conjugated thiophenes for self-assembling antenna systems in water.
Newly developed conjugated terthiophene surfactants are able to aggregate in water and to act as a host for hydrophobic chromophores, creating a multiple donor-acceptor energy transfer (ET) system by self-assembly.
