Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
Consider the following statements:
- Recently, a team of researchers developed the world’s tiniest nanoantenna made of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) to study changes in the structure of protein molecules.
- It is formed when a fluorescent molecule is first attached to the DNA, and then this fluorescent nanoantenna is attached to a biological nanomachine, such as an enzyme.
- The nanoantenna works like a one-way radio that can only receive radio waves.
