Supramolecular aptamer-thrombin linear and branched nanostructures

Yossi Weizmann, Adam B. Braunschweig, Ofer I. Wilner, Zoya Cheglakov, Itamar Willner

α and β conjugated bis-aptamers against thrombin act as bidentate "glue" for the self-assembly of thrombin nanowires; mixing the bidentate aptamer with a tripodal tridentate α aptamer construct yields branched thrombin nanowire structures.
