Inspired by origami, researchers have found a way to remotely control the order in which a two-dimensional (2-D) sheet folds itself into a three-dimensional (3-D) structure. The folds are controlled ...

RALEIGH – Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique that takes advantage of gold nanoparticles to trigger the sequential unfolding of three-dimensional structures ...

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acid structures formed by guanine-rich DNA sequences and stabilized by Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds and monovalent cations. These structures are biologically ...
