Scientists Build DNA Nanoantenna
Recently, a team of researchers developed the world’s tiniest nanoantenna made of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) to study changes in the structure of protein molecules.
Key Highlights
- Process: A fluorescent molecule is first attached to the DNA, and then this fluorescent nanoantenna is attached to a biological nanomachine, such as an enzyme.
- Function: The nanoantenna works like a two-way radio that can both receive and transmit radio waves.
- It receives light in one wavelength, and depending on the protein changes it senses, it transmits light in another colour and this can be detected and studied.
- Viable Alternative: These fluorescent ....
