DNA nanocage
A DNA nanocage for transporting drugs in the bodyDecember 4, 2013 [image: Jagger figure 1] Atomistic models of a nanocage in which eight unique DNA molecules are mixed together. The nanocage has four functional elements that transform themselves in response to changes in the surrounding temperature. These transformations either close (A) or open (B) the nanocage. By exploiting temperature changes in the surroundings, the researchers trapped an active enzyme called horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the nanocage (C).
