Researchers explore interplay between high-affinity DNA and carbon nanotubes

Researchers at Pusan National University have developed high-affinity single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) sequences to functionalize single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). This innovation enhances the stability and functionality of SWCNTs, making them suitable for applications in biotechnology and nanoelectronics. Using high-throughput screening, molecular dynamics simulations, and machine learning models, the team optimized the binding affinity and stability of ssDNA-SWCNT complexes. The study’s findings promise advancements in drug delivery systems and nano-electronic devices.
