Rewiring the DNA Backbone for Programmable Materials

DNA is a powerful material for nanotechnology because its sequence, structure and assembly can be precisely programmed. However, its chemical functionality remains largely limited to the four natural bases, limiting its application space in nanotechnology. Read more

A structural biology approach to understand IMPDH2 rod-ring structures in Embryonic Stem Cells

IMPDH2 is a critical enzyme responsible for the rate limiting step of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. In naïve pluripotent stem cells, it forms large rod-ring structures (RRs) which are hypothesised to control the enzyme’s output when the pool of guanine nucleotides is in high demand. Read more
