Funded Activity Summary

DNA Nanoshuttles: A New Class of DNA-Binding Molecules. The interaction of molecules with DNA, the molecule that controls genetic information, is fundamental to drug design, diagnosis of disease and the environment. DNA-nanoshuttles are ring-shaped molecules that thread onto DNA and shuttle from one end to the other. This threading interaction is without precedent and hence DNA-nanoshuttles have significant potential applications in all areas of medicine, biotechnology and nanotechnology that involve DNA interactions. This research may lead to the design of new diagnostics and applications that will benefit the Australian community, and will provide excellent training of researchers in skills required for employment in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical fields.
