What is a 3DNA dendrimer?
A 3DNA dendrimer is a signal amplification molecule made from DNA. Each dendrimer has a “core” that consists of a matrix of double-stranded DNA, as well as an outer surface comprised of hundreds of single-stranded arms. The surface arms are available for hybridization to a specific sequence as well as oligonucleotides that carry signal molecules. For a more detailed description of 3DNA technology see Architecture of 3DNA Dendrimer.
