| Abstract | DNA nanotubes are an attractive class of materials that can be assembled with precise control over their size, shape, length and porosity, and can encapsulate and release materials in response to specific added molecules. In parallel, block copolymer assemblies can provide biocompatibility, stability, nuclease resistance, the ability to encapsulate small molecules, long-range assembly and numerous additional functionalities that can be tuned with subtle chemical modifications. Herein, we describe a new class of hybrid materials in which block copolymer assemblies are sequence-specifically and longitudinally positioned on robust DNA nanotubes constructed using rolling circle amplification. These materials are dynamic, allowing the polymer structures to be cleanly removed from the DNA nanotubes only when a specific DNA sequence is added, and creating a single-stranded form of these nanotubes. Specifically, we first describe the use of rolling circle amplification to create a long DNA strand containing a repeat sequence. This is used as a guide strand in a new method to construct robust nanotubes with a non-nicked backbone. We then synthesize polymer–DNA conjugates through on-column functionalization of a DNA strand with a polymer. These conjugates self-assemble into spherical aggregates, which then position themselves onto the DNA nanotubes using sequence-specific hybridization, creating a ‘striped' structure. The polymer aggregates can be cleanly lifted off the nanotubes using a strand displacement strategy, thus uncapping these DNA nanotubes. We also show that this longitudinal alignment of polymer aggregates on DNA nanotubes is general for a variety of DNA–block copolymers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
