Ingenious molecular mechanisms in the age of transformable DNA
2015-01-07 13:30:34| Extremetech
Among the pioneers of this relatively new field of structural DNA nanotechnology is a group of researchers from Ohio State who have managed to engineer some pretty fancy DNA actuators. One of their devices uses a so-called Bennett linkage -- a Pacman-like molecular chomper that can be programmed to release release its cargo, or potentially eat it, on demand.
