Abstract

Here we describe novel enzymatic procedures for the production of long (from tens of nanometers to microns) double-stranded poly(dG)–poly(dC), triple-helical poly(dG)–poly(dG)–poly(dC), and quadruple-helical G4 DNA. All these molecules are uniform in size and possess improved mechanical and electrical properties with respect to a canonical random sequence double-stranded DNA. They can potentially be used as elements in nanoelectronic devices and circuits.
