Targeting Bacterial Cells with DNA Nanostructures
摘要
DNA origami nanostructures offer wide potential for controlled functionalization with molecules of interest, such as peptides, enzymes, small-molecule drugs, and fluorophores. Here, we describe a protocol for the synthesis and characterization of aptamer-modified DNA origami nanostructures that can act as a vehicle for delivering antimicrobials to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial targets in a specific and efficient manner.
