Abstract

Made for walking: Using DNA basepairing interactions alone, recently several examples of bipedal DNA walkers have been demonstrated experimentally (see picture). The walkers display coordinated leg movement and are able to walk processively on a supramolecular track. To achieve this behavior, the kinetics of the hybridization reactions involved in each case is intricately designed.
