Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Dec 4;55(93):14074-14077. doi: 10.1039/c9cc05427h. Epub 2019 Nov 7.

Abstract

We discovered that the function of cytochrome C can be modulated by DNA nanoribbons. Meanwhile, the interplay between the DNA nanoribbons and the native cytochrome C and the possible mechanisms are also discussed.
