Abstract:We demonstrate remote-controlled microflow using photoresponsive DNA fluid. The DNA fluid was fabricated through the self-assembly of branched DNA motifs, nanostructures of base-paired single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs): Three ssDNAs hybridized in the stem region to form a branched motif possessing sticky ends (SEs); via the hybridization of SEs, the branched DNA motifs self-assembled into DNA fluid, which was micrometer-scale condensates. The motifs were equipped with a photoresponsive capability by introducing az… Show more
