Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Applications of unique colloidal behaviors of nanoparticles densely modified with DNA were successfully broadened. First, linear assemblies of fully matched double-stranded (ds) DNA-modified nanoparticles were spontaneously folded into an island-like structure to readily afford two-dimensional nanoparticle arrays on substrate surfaces. Second, nanogels covered with DNA were constructed to be used as a drug delivery carrier that released model payloads in a thermoresponsive manner. Third, force-distance curve analyses between dsDNA layers using colloid probe-AFM revealed that the outermost complementary dsDNA layers attract each other at a high NaCl concentration. Finally, gene mutation assays and discovery methods of DNA-binding drug candidates were developed using the unique DNA-surface property. All results indicate that DNA molecules are unique surface-modifiers that are capable of controlling interactions between materials surfaces.
