“…Furthermore, as seen in the above figures, no DNA brush or contamination-related features were observed for the one-component EG3 template, where without irradiation, no exchange with A25SH occurs. This guarantees, in agreement with previous studies, [28,29] a DNAfree protein-repelling background for growing ssDNA nanostructures on ssDNA/AT-OEG templates prepared by IPER-EBL.…”
