Dynamic DNA nanotechnology involves the creation of nanoscale devices made of DNA
whose primary function arises from their ability to undergo controlled motion or …

Stretches of cytosine-rich DNA are capable of adopting a dynamic secondary structure, the i-
motif. When within promoter regions, the i-motif has the potential to act as a molecular switch …

Human genome function is underpinned by the primary storage of genetic information in
canonical B-form DNA, with a second layer of DNA structure providing regulatory control. I …

DNA nanotechnology provides a toolbox for creating custom and precise nanostructures
with nanometer-level accuracy. These nano-objects are often static by nature and serve as …

DNA nanotechnology enables straightforward fabrication of user-defined and nanometer-
precise templates for a cornucopia of different uses. To date, most of these DNA assemblies …

We study here a DNA oligonucleotide having the ability to form two different i-motif structures
whose relative stability depends on pH and temperature. The major species at neutral pH is …

Noncanonical DNA structures that stall DNA replication can cause errors in genomic DNA.
Here, we investigated how the noncanonical structures formed by sequences in genes …

Strands of DNA with four or more contiguous runs of 2′-deoxycytidine (dC) nucleotides
have the potential to adopt i-motif folds, generally under mildly acidic conditions. Analysis of …

Quadruplex structures have been identified in a plethora of organisms where they play
important functions in the regulation of molecular processes, and hence have been …

Silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) stabilized by DNA are promising materials with tunable
fluorescent properties, which have been employed in a plethora of sensing systems. In this …
