Metallo-toeholds: controlling DNA strand displacement driven by Hg(II) ions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Toehold-mediated strand displacement is a powerful tool that permits programmable control over DNA hybridization. Here, we developed a mechanism for strand displacement driven by Hg(2+) ions, in which the insertion of thymine-thymine mismatched base pairs on the toeholds provides additional control through variation of the concentration of Hg(2+) ions.

متن کاملIntegrating a DNA Strand Displacement Reaction with a Whispering Gallery Mode Sensor for Label-Free Mercury (II) Ion Detection
Mercury is an extremely toxic chemical pollutant of our environment. It has attracted the world's attention due to its high mobility and the ease with which it accumulates in organisms. Sensitive devices and methods specific for detecting mercury ions are, hence, in great need. Here, we have integrated a DNA strand displacement reaction with a whispering gallery mode (WGM) sensor for demonstrat...

متن کاملControl of DNA strand displacement kinetics using toehold exchange.
DNA is increasingly being used as the engineering material of choice for the construction of nanoscale circuits, structures, and motors. Many of these enzyme-free constructions function by DNA strand displacement reactions. The kinetics of strand displacement can be modulated by toeholds, short single-stranded segments of DNA that colocalize reactant DNA molecules. Recently, the toehold exchang...
