Molecular recognition with DNA nanoswitches

This thesis describes an investigation of the use of DNA junctions as functional nanoswitches, capable of molecular recognition tasks in nucleic acids. The topological branch point allows a conformational change from a planar, open structure to a closed conformation which allows the junction arms to...
