DNA G-Wire Formation Using an Artificial Peptide is Controlled by Protease Activity

The development of a switching system for guanine nanowire (G-wire) formation by external signals is important for nanobiotechnological applications. Here, we demonstrate a DNA nanostructural switch (G-wire <--> particles) using a designed peptide and a protease. The peptide consists o...
