Molecular dynamics simulations on interaction of ssDNA-causing DM1 with carbon and boron nitride nanotubes to inhibit the formation of CTG repeat secondary structures

Switchable inhibitory behavior of divalent magnesium ion in DNA hybridization-based gene quantification

“…Strategies for recharacterization can include molecular modeling or performing the NanoGene assay for the new target DNA. [51][52][53] For example, in this study, the Mg 2+ inflection concentration has been identified for mcyD gene (specific to Microcystis aeruginosa). Similarly, that for other environmental relevant bacteria such as E. coli can be determined via the same experiment.…”

Silver Nanoparticles as Antiviral and Antibacterial Agents: A Comprehensive Review of Synthesis Methods and Therapeutic Application

“…The ability to engineer materials at this scale enhances performance and functionality, driving unprecedented innovations. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Objects at the nanoscale refer to structures or materials that have dimensions on the order of nanometers, denoted by the prefix "nano" with a value of 10 À 9 . A nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter.…”

Boron Nitride Nanotube–Salt–Water Hybrid: Toward Zero-Dimensional Liquid Water and Highly Trapped Immobile Single Anions Inside One-Dimensional Nanostructures

“…Nanotube-based hybrid structures have also been studied for BNNTs. They include defect-induced formation of the BNNT−BN nanosheet exohedral hybrids, 60 BNNT−nucleobase hybrid systems, where the nucleobases have been physisorbed on the BNNT outer surface, 61 formation of structures, where BNNTs are wrapped on their outer surfaces by ss-DNA molecules, 62 formation of hybrids, where amphiphilic monomethoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly-(epsilon-caprolactone) diblock copolymers are attached as side structures to hydroxylated BNNTs, 63 and so forth. On the other hand, there are also several examples, where such nanotube-based hybrids have been formed with the molecules (or other species) entering the nanotube and getting localized within the nanotubes (in other words, the hybrids are formed between the nanotubes and the moieties getting encapsulated within the nanotubes; these configurations are also known as endohedrally functionalized nanotube hybrids).…”
