New in JACS! We developed a DNA platform for targeted cancer therapy, using gentle UV light to “lock” nanostructures in place, with:
- Optimal ligand spacing for folate receptor (FR) binding
- Structural stability
- Enhanced delivery to FR-expressing cancer cells

What impressive oligos syntheses! I am very excited by what this methodology can achieve for modified/alternative bases. Congratulations to the authors and their careful methodical work 🧪🧬 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
Long oligos: direct chemical synthesis of genes with up to 1728 nucleotides
The longest oligos that can be chemically synthesized are considered to be 200-mers. Here, we report direct synthesis of an 800-mer green fluorescent protein gene and a 1728-mer Φ29 DNA polymerase gen...

Heartbroken by the loss of Sir Fraser Stoddart, a true giant in chemistry, a personal inspiration, and a strong supporter of the supramolecular community. His brilliance, kindness, and legacy will continue to inspire us.
Colleagues, Students, Postdocs, Collaborators and Friends of Sir Fraser Stoddart: I am writing with the sad news that Fraser passed away suddenly on 31 Dec (Australia time) while on holiday with family. No details yet on any services. He is irreplaceable.
