If you want to unfold the same molecule through multiple directions, DNA nanoswitch caliper is the way to go!
New preprint on single-molecule mechanostructural fingerprinting! doi.org/10.1101/2025... We use DNA nanoswitch calipers to characterize the geometry and mechanical stability of telomeric DNA G-quadruplexes. #Biophysics #SingleMolecule #Mechanobiology #DNAnanotech
