    摘要: The oligonucleotide nanostructures enable pattern-recognized targeting of diseases, particularly useful as high-specificity detectors and inhibitors of viruses and toxins, such as for Dengue virus particles. The nanostructures include an oligonucleotide scaffold with a plurality of binders arranged in a pattern conforming to a plurality of surface epitopes of a target disease. Binding of the scaffolds to these surface epitopes has been shown to have inhibitory effects against the target disease. The scaffolds can also include functional domains that activate upon target binding. Assembly of the scaffolds can be achieved via annealing of separate oligonucleotide segments of predetermined length and sequence, which also advantageously define locations of binding domains in the resulting structure. This approach provides precise control over the spacing and orientation of epitope binding sites in the scaffold.
