Biomimetic Molecular Signaling using DNA Walkers on Microparticles

Abstract We report the release of catalytic DNA walkers from hydrogel microparticles and the detection of those walkers by substrate-coated microparticles. This might be considered a synthetic biology analog of molecular signal release and reception. One type of particles was coated with components...
