Oligolysine-based coating protects DNA nanostructures from low-salt denaturation and nuclease degradation

The instability of DNA nanostructures in physiological environments has hampered their use as therapeutics and diagnostic agents inin vivoapplications. Here, the authors show that coating DNA origami with oligolysine-PEG moieties improves their pharmacokinetic properties in mouse models.
