This paper demonstrates the isothermal assembly of DNA nanostructures and 3D crystals in hydrated ionic liquids, enhancing biostability and enabling cell internalization without thermal annealing.

This study shows that metal ions and temperature affect DNA nanostructure self-assembly, with divalent ions enabling assembly at lower temperatures and no adverse effects on cell viability.

The paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to study how RNA modifications and magnesium ions affect tRNAPhe conformational dynamics in S. cerevisiae.

The paper shows that mutating two intronic nucleotides alters RNA structure and dynamics, disrupting MBNL1 and RBFOX1 regulation of INSR exon 11 splicing.
