Research on Base Size of Pore Part for Ultrasound DNA Nanotube Synthesis

Nanotubes are nanostructures that mimic the mass transport properties of ion channels, which are membrane proteins found in cells. Among them, DNA nanotubes are nanotubes made of DNA, and by designing complex sequences, DNA nanotubes with various functions can be created. We aim to develop DNA nanotubes that can transport materials by ultrasound irradiation (US-DNA nanotubes). In this study, we attempted to confirm the synthesis of DNA nanotubes by electrophoresis. The results suggest the synthesis of DNA nanotubes.
