Biological molecules such as DNA, proteins, and lipids can be assembled into naturally
existing nanoparticles, such as bacterial viruses (also called bacteriophages or phages) …

Since graphene oxide (GO) is readily available and exhibits exceptional optical, electrical,
mechanical and chemical properties, it has attracted increasing interests for use in GO–DNA …

Thioflavin T (ThT), a water-soluble fluorescence probe and the conventional dye for the
detection of amyloid fibrils has recently been demonstrated to recognize and bind nucleic …

A wide range of molecular devices with nanoscale dimensions have been recently designed
to perform a variety of functions in response to specific molecular inputs. Only limited …

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

DNA nanotechnology employs synthetic nucleic acid strands to design and engineer
nanoscale structural and functional systems of increasing complexity that may find …

A versatile platform for the one‐step fluorescence detection of both monovalent and
multivalent proteins has been developed. This system is based on a conformation‐switching …

A series of luminescent Ir (III) complexes were synthesised and evaluated for their ability to
act as G-quadruplex-selective probes. A novel Ir (III) complex was found to be highly …

Transcription factors (TFs) are the key proteins for the decision of cell fates, and they have
been recognized as potent markers for diagnostic and treatment of diseases. Herein, we …

Here we demonstrate the rational design of allosterically controllable, metal-ion-triggered
molecular switches. Specifically, we designed DNA sequences that adopt two low energy …
