Building a nano-scale filter using DNA

19/2/2018

The collaborative study with researchers at the Yale School of Medicine was recently published in ACS Nano and details how DNA can be folded using ‘DNA origami’ to form a nanometer-sized cylinder. This cylinder can then be filled by the proteins that in our body selectively transport material into and out of the nuclei of our cells, resulting in a ‘nano-pore’ filter. Read more here.
