Their self-assembly in water into micelles resulted in an increased quantum yield compared to open polymer chains in acetonitrile, which is likely due to core rigidity and desolvation. Streptavidin coated magnetic beads were employed to analyze the binding ability of these micelles.

- A new 3D-DNA construction method allows efficient assembly of DNA strands to create scaffolds with multiple single-stranded arms for organizing functional materials in three dimensions.
- * By using ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), block copolymers are attached to the DNA strands, enhancing the structure and functionality of the DNA scaffold.
- * Site-specific hybridization of these DNA-polymer chains on the scaffold results in biohybrid cages that exhibit improved resistance to nucleases compared to traditional DNA cages.
