Designed oligonucleotides can self-assemble into DNA nanostructures with well-defined structures and uniform sizes, which provide unprecedented opportunities for biosensing, molecular imaging, drug delivery. In this work, we have developed functional, multivalent by appending unmethylated CpG motifs to three-dimensional tetrahedra. These small-sized functional are compact, mechanically stable, noncytotoxic. We demonstrated that resistant nuclease degradation remain substantially intact in...
Abstract DNA is typically impermeable to the plasma membrane due its polyanionic nature. Interestingly, several different nanostructures can be readily taken up by cells in absence of transfection agents, which suggests new opportunities for constructing intelligent cargo delivery systems from these biocompatible, nonviral nanocarriers.

Genomic oxidation and alkylation are two of the most important forms cytotoxic damage that may induce mutagenesis, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity. Human 8-oxoguanine (hOGG1) alkyladenine DNA glycosylases (hAAG) responsible for major oxidative alkylative repair, their aberrant activities cause repair deficiencies associated with a variety human diseases, including cancers. Due to complicated catalytic pathways hydrolysis mechanisms, simultaneous accurate detection multiple has remained great...
