Project Overview
- Our goal is to design and implement molecular containers, which can be dynamically opened and closed by an external stimulus.
 - The containers will be implemented as DNA nanostructures, which afford a significant degree of positional control and chemical versatility.
 - As an initial proof-of-concept, we plan to use our DNA containers to demonstrate controllable activation ("delivery") of anti-thrombin aptamers.
 - We expect that molecular containers could have several interesting scientific and clinical applications, such as
- Drug and gene delivery
 - Bio-marker scavenging (early detection of biomarkers)
 - Directed evolution (compartmentalized selections)
 - Using multiplexing for combinatorial chemical synthesis
 - Capture and stabilization of multiprotein complexes
 - Protein folding (chaperones)
 - Cell sorting
