No Longer Just For Biology, RNA Can Now Be Built Into 3-D Arrays
Biomaterial to be girders for nanoscale construction projects
12-Aug-2004 -
ARLINGTON, Va.- Researchers have coaxed RNA to self-assemble into 3-D arrays, a potential backbone for nanotech scaffolds. These RNA structures can form a wider variety of shapes than double-stranded DNA can and are easier to manipulate than many protein alternatives.
