To investigate how modifying synthetic oligonucleotides with hydrophobic substituents directs and controls their self-assembly properties.
Synthesized oligonucleotides functionalized with specific hydrophobic chemical substituents.
Evaluated the structural assembly and interaction behavior of the modified oligonucleotide strands in solution.
Introduction of hydrophobic substituents successfully drives and modulates oligonucleotide self-assembly.
Hydrophobic interactions enable the controlled formation of organized supramolecular nucleic acid complexes.
