Excited to share our new paper in @ACS_AMI! 🔬 We developed QuantGUV, an automated, high-throughput software to quantify the encapsulation efficiency of small molecules in synthetic cells. Read the open-access paper here https://t.co/dZBLKrATes

Conjugating dsDNA on AuNPs at high density has always been a bottleneck—until now. Our new work shows how thermal annealing can achieve surface densities of 0.25 dsDNA/nm².
We also demonstrate photothermal triggered release of over 80 nM DNA!

Just posted on bioRxiv! Our new method, QuantGUV, allows precise measurement of encapsulation efficiency of small molecules. Stop guessing, start quantifying! 🧬

Thrilled to share our new paper in @NanoLetters! 🎉 We've found a way to speed up DNA nanomachines. By adding tiny "bulges" to DNA, we can accelerate the four-way branch migration. 🔬🧬

@gleet_tweet Thank you Paul!

2. We have adding bulges to the toeholds of the four-way DNA complex, which destabilised the DNA four-way junction and changed its molecule mechanism during the branch migration steps. It is an order of magnitude faster than the previous mechanism!

[Wooli Bae @WooliBae]

1. New paper in bioRxiv! In collaboration with @gbstan and @IC_reactions, we developed a new mechanism to overcome the speed limit of four-way DNA branch migration. https://t.co/kAzf1vhmiA #nanotechnology#research#science
