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. However, underlying mechanism entry into remains unknown. Herein, we investigated endocytotic internalization and subsequent transport tetrahedral (TDNs)...
Structural antibody database (SAbDab; http://opig.stats.ox.ac.uk/webapps/sabdab) is an online resource containing all the publicly available structures annotated and presented in a consistent fashion. The data are with several properties including experimental information, gene details, correct heavy light chain pairings, antigen details and, where available, antibody-antigen binding affinity. user can select structures, according to these attributes as well structural such complementarity...
There remains a great challenge in the sensitive detection of microRNA because short length and low abundance microRNAs cells. Here, we have demonstrated an ultrasensitive platform for by combining tetrahedral DNA nanostructure probes hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification. The limits are 100 aM 10 (corresponding to 600 μL sample), respectively. Compared widely used supersandwich amplification, improved 3 orders magnitude. uncontrolled surface immobilization consumption target...
Abstract Self‐assembled DNA nanostructures with precise sizes allow a programmable “soft lithography” approach to engineer the interface of electrochemical sensors. By using millimeter‐sized gold electrodes modified several types tetrahedral (TDNs) different sizes, both kinetics and thermodynamics hybridization were profoundly affected. Because each probe is anchored on an individual TDN, its lateral spacing interactions are finely tuned by TDN size. simply varying size TDNs, time was...
Therapeutic mAbs must not only bind to their target but also be free from "developability issues" such as poor stability or high levels of aggregation. While small-molecule drug discovery benefits Lipinski's rule five guide the selection molecules with appropriate biophysical properties, there is currently no in silico analog for antibody design. Here, we model variable domain structures a large set post-phase-I clinical-stage therapeutics (CSTs) and calculate metrics estimate typical...
Abstract DNA‐based machines have attracted rapidly growing interest owing to their potential in drug delivery, biocomputing, and diagnostic applications. Herein, we report a type of exonuclease III (Exo III)‐powered stochastic DNA walker that can autonomously move on spherical nucleic acid (SNA)‐based 3D track. The motion is propelled by unidirectional Exo digestion hybridized tracks burnt‐bridge mechanism. operation this III‐propelled was monitored real time at the single‐particle...
Abstract In macromolecular crystallography, the rigorous detection of changed states (for example, ligand binding) is difficult unless signal strong. Ambiguous (‘weak’ or ‘noisy’) density experimentally common, since molecular are generally only fractionally present in crystal. Existing methodologies focus on generating maximally accurate maps whereby minor become discernible; practice, such map interpretation disappointingly subjective, time-consuming and methodologically unsound. Here we...
Graphene oxide (GO) is an excellent bacteria-killing nanomaterial. In this work, macroscopic applications of promising nanomaterial by fixing GO sheets onto cotton fabrics, which possess strong antibacterial property and great laundering durability, are reported. The GO-based fabrics prepared in three ways: direct adsorption, radiation-induced crosslinking, chemical crosslinking. Antibacterial tests show that all these GO-containing could inactivate 98% bacteria. Most significantly, can...
Computational modeling of antibody structures plays a critical role in therapeutic design. Several pipelines exist, but no freely available methods currently model nanobodies, provide estimates expected accuracy, or highlight potential issues with the antibody's experimental development. Here, we describe our automated pipeline, ABodyBuilder, designed to overcome these issues. The algorithm itself follows standard 4 steps template selection, orientation prediction,...

These decloaked were then cell analysis. In our design, a staple strand with aptamer-toehold biblocks...

Mechanistic understanding of the endocytosis and intracellular trafficking nanoparticles is essential for designing smart theranostic carriers. Physico-chemical properties, including size, clustering surface chemistry regulate their cellular uptake transport. Significantly, even single could cluster intracellularly, yet state subsequent are not well understood. Here, we used DNA-decorated gold (fPlas-gold) as a dually emissive fluorescent plasmonic probe to examine states Evidence from...

Our in vivo studies reveal that theranostic Nano-PT probe is specifically activated H2S-rich CRC tissues,...
Abstract DNA strand displacement reactions (SDRs) provide a set of intelligent toolboxes for developing molecular computation. Whereas SDR-based logic gate circuits have achieved high level complexity, the scale-up practical achievable computational tasks remains hurdle. Switching that were originally proposed by Shannon in 1938 and nowadays widely used telecommunication represent an alternative efficient means to realize fast-speed high-bandwidth communication. Here we develop switching...
