Metal ions are essential to many chemical, biological, and environmental processes. In the
past two decades, many DNA-based metal sensors have emerged. While the main …

Hydrogels are crosslinked hydrophilic polymers that can absorb a large amount of water. By
their hydrophilic, biocompatible and highly tunable nature, hydrogels can be tailored for …

The double-helix structure of DNA, in which complementary strands reversibly hybridize to
each other, not only explains how genetic information is stored and replicated, but also has …

Biosensors employ biological molecules to recognize the target and utilize output elements
which can translate the biorecognition event into electrical, optical or mass-sensitive signals …

Metal-mediated artificial DNA base pairs, consisting of two ligand-type nucleosides and a
bridging metal ion, are promising building units for constructing DNA-based …

Metal-mediated base pairs represent a topical area of research at the border of bioinorganic
