DNA Switches: G‐Quadruplex‐Stimulated Optical and Electrocatalytic DNA Switches (Small 30/2015)
Source abstract
Abstract
The stabilization of G-quadruplexes by means of K+ ions, and the separation of the nanostructures by 18-crown-6 or [2.2.2] cryptand, provide means to assemble switchable photonic or electrocatalytic molecular systems. On page 3654, this is exemplified with the construction of a G-quadruplex-based photonic “DNA spring” by I. Willner and co-workers, and by the assembly of a switchable hemin/G-quadruplex nanostructure on an electrode, acting as an electrocatalytic “ON”/“OFF” switch towards the reduction of H2O2.
