For the first time ever, a team at California Institute of Technology have created a synthetic structure made from both protein and DNA. Researchers in the lab of Dr. Stephen Mayo used computer modeling to help engineer the new protein-DNA nanowire.
Synthetic structures like this will ultimately have important applications in medicine and industry, and this new kind of biomaterial has even more potential functions than synthetic structures made from just protein or DNA.
