利用 DNA 分子的自组装在纳米尺度上创建了各种三维结构。然而，普通的 DNA 结构由于其灵活性而很容易被破坏。此外，很难通过环境的输入来控制它们。在这里，我们使用偶氮苯构建了坚固且光控的 DNA 胶囊。这提供了一种构建 DNA 结构的方法，该结构可以承受更高的温度，并且可以通过紫外线照射进行控制。
Various three-dimensional structures have been created on a nanometer scale using the self-assembly of DNA molecules. However, ordinary DNA structures breakdown readily because of their flexibility. In addition, it is difficult to control them by inputs from environments. Here, we construct robust and photocontrollable DNA capsules using azobenzenes. This provides a method to construct DNA structures that can survive higher temperatures and can be controlled with ultraviolet irradiation.
