Rolling Circle Amplification-Templated DNA Nanotubes Show Increased Stability and Cell Penetration Ability.

DNA nanotubes hold promise as scaffolds for protein organization, as templates of nanowires and photonic systems, and as drug delivery vehicles. We present a new DNA-economic strategy for the construction of DNA nanotubes with a backbone produced by rolling circle amplification (RCA), which results...
