A biomimetic mercury(II)-gated single nanochannel

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Nov 25;49(91):10679-81. doi: 10.1039/c3cc42748j.

Abstract

A simple biomimetic mercury(II)-gated single nanochannel has been developed by incorporating a mercury(II) responsive single stranded DNA (ssDNA) with thymine-thymine (T-T) bases into a single polymetic nanochannel.
