pH‐Responsive Size‐Tunable Self‐Assembled DNA Dendrimers

Abstract

Putting the DNA in dendrimers: a strategy to swiftly prepare DNA dendrimers based solely on DNA self-assembly is presented. This technique produces highly pure DNA dendrimers with an excellent yield of high generation dendrimers. The incorporation of molecular motors (i-motifs) into the DNA dendrimers allows for a change in size (up to 30%) in response to changing pH values.
