The efficient monitoring and early detection of viruses may provide essential information
about diseases. In this work, we have highlighted the interaction between DNA and a two …

Ion mediated interactions between nucleic acid helices are essential for their efficient
packaging within tight spaces such as viral capsids, and nucleosomes. Understanding the …

Although DNA has been quite successful in metal cation detection, anion detectioin remains
challenging because of the charge repulsion. Metal oxides represent a very important class …

Nanomaterials have greatly boosted the biosensor field taking advantage of their optical,
catalytic, magnetic and adsorption properties. While noble metal and carbon-based …

Coupling of biomolecules with nanomaterials has drawn immense attraction because of the
improved synergistic properties, functions, and biocompatible nature. Thus, this process …

DNA, apart from being the mode of genomic information storage, has found several uses in
catalysis (DNAzymes) and target detection (aptamers). Developing novel biosensors …

Metal ions play a critical role in human health and abnormal levels are closely related to
various diseases. Therefore, the detection of metal ions with high selectivity, sensitivity and …

Herein, by directly using Watson–Crick base pairing, a highly ordered and field-free three-
dimensional (3D) DNA nanostructure is self-assembled by azobenzene (azo)-functionalized …

Various human activities lead to the pollution of ground, drinking, and wastewater with toxic
metals. It is well known that metal ions preferentially bind to DNA phosphate backbones or …

Interfacing DNA with two-dimensional (2D) materials has been intensely researched for
various analytical and biomedical applications. Most of these studies have been performed …
