Guest molecules ride perfect waves in dna droplets—A breakthrough for synthetic biology

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and the University of Texas at Austin have identified a form of molecular motion that has not previously been observed. When what are known as ‘guest molecules’ – molecules that are accommodated within a host molecule – penetrate droplets of DNA polymers, they do not simply diffuse in them in a haphazard fashion, but propagate through them in the form of a clearly-defined frontal wave….
