Polymer has played an important role as an organic material in various fields of research and industry, and its property of responsiveness to stimuli such as temperature, pH, ion and light has drawn attention for applications as a smart material. DNA also has been an interesting subject as an organic material itself as well as a programmable gene code; its properties such as stimuli-responsiveness and target-specific capturing have been studied. Especially pH-dependent mispairing makes DNA more attractive to examine. Even though various studies have been reported to relate these two different fields, polymer and DNA still have a good many things to find inbetween. Here, a hybrid polymer is synthesized with polymer backbones and DNA moieties having pH-responsive properties both. In this research, a new mean of pH-responsive system is studied by the polymer-based DNA hybrid system suggesting its potential in the fields of controlled drug delivery, sensors, and nano-machines. |
