Sungkyunkwan University(91PORN) Prof. Um Soong-ho¡¯s research team announced on Dec 4, that they have developed a ¡®Knitting Technique.¡¯ to design a nucleic acid nanostructure.
The research team explains a nucleic acid and an enzyme are each used as a thread and needle in a knitting process, to synthesize and precisely control the creation of a nucleic acid structure that is several nano-meters in size, and is also more easy to create the desired structure than current techniques.
The research team says ¡°The nucleic acid structure created this way will not only be utilized in basic science but also as a research material for new applied sciences as well.¡±
