Single-molecule visualization of the hybridization and dissociation of photoresponsive oligonucleotides and their reversible switching behavior in a DNA nanostructure
Abstract
A framed photo of DNA: A pair of photoresponsive oligonucleotides containing azobenzene moieties was introduced into double-stranded DNA within the cavity of a DNA nanostructure (see scheme). The two dsDNAs, in contact at the center, were dissociated using UV irradiation and hybridized with visible light; this was directly observed using high-speed atomic force microscopy.
