Abstract: We evaluate, by means of synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering, the shape and mutual interactions of DNA tetravalent nanostars as a function of temperature in both the gas-like state and across the gel transition. To this… read more here.

Abstract: Phase separation of biomolecules plays key roles in physiological compartmentalization as well as pathological aggregation. A deeper understanding of biomolecular phase separation requires dissection of a relation between intermolecular interactions and resulting phase behaviors. DNA… read more here.

Abstract: In analogy with classic rigidity problems of networks and frames, the elastic properties of hydrogels made of DNA nanostars (DNAns) are expected to strongly depend on the precise geometry of their building blocks. However, it… read more here.
