Conjugating dsDNA on AuNPs at high density has always been a bottleneck—until now. Our new work shows how thermal annealing can achieve surface densities of 0.25 dsDNA/nm². We also demonstrate photothermal triggered release of over 80 nM DNA! chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.264…

1. New paper in bioRxiv! In collaboration with @gbstan and @IC_reactions, we developed a new mechanism to overcome the speed limit of four-way DNA branch migration. doi.org/10.1101/2023.05.15.5… #nanotechnology#research#science

2. We have adding bulges to the toeholds of the four-way DNA complex, which destabilised the DNA four-way junction and changed its molecule mechanism during the branch migration steps. It is an order of magnitude faster than the previous mechanism!

Amazing and heroic work by my former PhD student, Dr Alice Boo (now in Chris Voigt’s lab at MIT), and a wonderful collaboration with Harman Mehta (continuing the work of Alice) and @LedesmaAmaro. @RAEngNews @ImperialBioeng
(1/7) New preprint for ratiometric control of bacterial population, without toxins or syntrophy! Our system detects “burden” of genetic circuits across microbes in a community, and adjusts the population composition to a desired ratio automatically. doi.org/10.1101/2023.05.15.5…
