Interplay of the mechanical and structural properties of DNA nanostructures determines their electrostatic interactions with lipid membranes
Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Cem Tekin, Diana Kornelia Morzy, Vincenzo Caroprese
Nucleic acids and lipids function in close proximity in biological processes, as well as in nanoengineered constructs for therapeutic applications. As both molecules carry a rich charge profile, and frequently coexist in complex ionic solutions, the electr ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2023DNA-Liposome Hybrid Carriers for Triggered Cargo Release
The design of simple and versatile synthetic routes to accomplish triggered-release properties in carriers is of particular interest for drug delivery purposes. In this context, the programmability and adaptability of DNA nanoarchitectures in combination w ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2022Significance of Receptor Mobility in Multivalent Binding on Lipid Membranes
Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Diana Kornelia Morzy
Numerous key biological processes rely on the concept of multivalency, where ligands achieve stable binding only upon engaging multiple receptors. These processes, like viral entry or immune synapse formation, occur on the diffusive cellular membrane. One ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2022Membrane Activity of a DNA-Based Ion Channel Depends on the Stability of Its Double-Stranded Structure
Diana Kornelia Morzy, Himanshu Joshi
DNA nanotechnology has emerged as a promising method for designing spontaneously inserting and fully controllable synthetic ion channels. However, both insertion efficiency and stability of existing DNA-based membrane channels leave much room for improveme ...
