Portsmouth and Leicester universities developed a new DNA origami technique for drug delivery and disease diagnosis, strengthening and customizing nanostructures with precision.

A new DNA origami technique, developed by researchers at Portsmouth and Leicester universities, has the potential to advance drug delivery and disease diagnosis. The method strengthens and customises nanostructures with remarkable precision, using DNA strands as building blocks. The one-pot reaction, triplex-directed photo-cross-linking, makes the origami structures stronger and versatile, with attachment points for functional molecules.
