    Abstract DNA nanostructures that respond to external stimuli have found applications in several areas such as biosensing, drug delivery and molecular computation. The use of different types of stimuli in a single operation provides another layer of control for the reconfiguration of nucleic acid nanostructures. This work demonstrates the use of a ribonuclease to "unset" a nucleic acid nanodevice based on the paranemic crossover (PX) DNA and specific DNA inputs to "reset" the structure into a juxtaposed DNA (JX

    Abstract The field of DNA nanotechnology has grown rapidly in the last decade and has expanded to multiple laboratories. While lectures in DNA nanotechnology have been introduced in some institutions, laboratory components at the undergraduate level are still lacking. Undergraduate students predominantly learn about DNA nanotechnology through their involvement as interns in research laboratories. The DNA nanostructure biostability analysis experiment presented here can be used as a hands-on introductory laboratory exercise for discussing concepts in DNA nanotechnology in an undergraduate setting. This experiment discusses biostability, gel electrophoresis and quantitative analysis of nuclease degradation of a model DNA nanostructure, the paranemic crossover (PX) DNA motif. The experiment can be performed in a chemistry, biology or a biochemistry laboratory with minimal costs and can be adapted in undergraduate institutions using the instructor and student manuals provided here. Laboratory courses based on cutting edge research not only provide students a direct hands-on approach to the subject, but can also increase undergraduate student participation in research. Moreover, laboratory courses that reflect the increasingly multidisciplinary nature of research add value to undergraduate education.

    Abstract Ribonucleases are useful as biomarkers and can be the source of contamination in laboratory samples, making ribonuclease detection assays important in life sciences research. With recent developments in DNA-based biosensing, several new techniques are being developed to detect ribonucleases. This review discusses some of these methods, specifically those that utilize G-quadruplex DNA structures, DNA-nanoparticle conjugates and DNA nanostructures, and the advantages and challenges associated with them.

    Abstract DNA nanotechnology has progressed from proof-of-concept demonstrations of structural design towards application-oriented research. As a natural material with excellent self-assembling properties, DNA is an indomitable choice for various biological applications, including biosensing, cell modulation, bioimaging and drug delivery. However, a major impediment to the use of DNA nanostructures in biological applications is their susceptibility to attack by nucleases present in the physiological environment. Although several DNA nanostructures show enhanced resistance to nuclease attack compared with duplexes and plasmid DNA, this may be inadequate for practical application. Recently, several strategies have been developed to increase the nuclease resistance of DNA nanostructures while retaining their functions, and the stability of various DNA nanostructures has been studied in biological fluids, such as serum, urine and cell lysates. This Review discusses the approaches used to modulate nuclease resistance in DNA nanostructures and provides an overview of the techniques employed to evaluate resistance to degradation and quantify stability.

    Abstract The structural integrity, assembly yield, and biostability of DNA nanostructures are influenced by the metal ions used to construct them. Although high (>10 mM) concentrations of divalent ions are often preferred for assembling DNA nanostructures, the range of ion concentrations and the composition of the assembly products vary for different assembly conditions.

    Abstract The COVID-19 outbreak has shut down universities, and teaching faculty have moved to online classrooms to address students. This change has been supported by numerous online teaching tools and development of virtual classrooms. Undergraduate research programs in the sciences and biochemistry/molecular biology teaching labs, however, are affected by this change due to inaccessibility to laboratories. This communication outlines three concepts to engage undergraduate students who are involved in research: (a) remote data analysis, (b) literature review and science writing, and (c) science journal clubs.

    Abstract DNA is now well-established as a nanoscale building material with applications in fields such as biosensing and molecular computation. Molecular processes such as logic gates, nucleic acid circuits, and multiplexed detection have used different readout strategies to measure the output signal. In biosensing, this output can be the diagnosis of a disease biomarker, whereas in molecular computation, the output can be the result of a mathematical operation carried out using DNA. Recent developments have shown that the output of such processes can be displayed graphically as a macroscopic symbol or an alphanumeric character on multiwell plates, microarray chips, gels, lateral flow devices, and DNA origami surfaces. This review discusses the concepts behind such graphical readouts of molecular events, available display platforms, and the advantages and challenges in adapting such methods for practical use. Graphical display systems have the potential to be used in the creation of intelligent computing and sensing devices by which nanoscale binding events are translated into macroscopic visual readouts.
