Label-free, optical sensing of the supramolecular assembly into fibrils of a ditryptophan-DNA hybrid
Résumé
The grafting of a short nucleic acid strand to ditryptophan dipeptide (WW) results in a peptide-DNA hybrid, which assembles into fibrils under controlled aggregation conditions as evidenced by label free optical sensing owing to the intrinsic fluorescence of the dipeptide. © the Partner Organisations 2014.
