Abstract

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) nanomachines have been widely exploited in enzyme activity regulation, protein crystallization, protein assembly, and control of the protein-protein interaction (PPI). Yet, the fundamental biophysical framework of DNA nanomachines in the case of regulating protein-protein interactions remains elusive. Here, we established a DNA nanospring-mCherry model with mCherry homodimers of different
