A Surfactant Enables Efficient Membrane Spanning by Non-Aggregating DNA-Based Ion Channels

DNA nanotechnology makes use of hydrophobically modified constructs to create synthetic membrane protein mimics. However, nucleic acid structures exhibit poor insertion efficiency, leading to a low activity of membrane-spanning DNA protein mimics. It is suggested that non-ionic surfactants improve i...
