Metal ions are essential to many chemical, biological, and environmental processes. In the
past two decades, many DNA-based metal sensors have emerged. While the main …

In nature, DNA molecules carry the hereditary information. But DNA has physical and
chemical properties that make it attractive for uses beyond heredity. In this Review, we …

Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules capable of tightly binding to specific
targets. These functional nucleic acids are obtained by an in vitro Darwinian evolution …

The discovery of natural RNA enzymes (ribozymes) prompted the pursuit of artificial DNA
enzymes (deoxyribozymes) by in vitro selection methods. A key motivation is the conceptual …

In this review, we introduce two kinds of bio-related nanoarchitectonics, DNA
nanoarchitectonics and cell-macromolecular nanoarchitectonics, both of which are basically …

The chemical composition of cells at the molecular level determines their growth,
differentiation, structure, and function. Probing this composition is powerful because it …

Abstract The RNA-cleaving DNAzyme (DZ) holds promising potential for RNA interference
(RNAi) applications and is favored over siRNA owing to its high chemical stability …

In order to cure diseases efficiently with minimal side effects in sophisticated medicine,
eminent drugs must be selectively delivered to diseased parts and allow to work only there …

DNA switches are ideally suited for numerous nanotechnological applications, and
increasing efforts are being directed toward their engineering. In this review, we discuss how …
