β¦ Synopsis
Abstract
DNA hydrogels which are composed of an entangled network without a crosslinker are synthesized and examined in regards to their sensitivity to salt and pH changes. The DNA hydrogel fibers only exhibited a marked response β that is a fast and large change in length β under biological conditions ([Na^+^]β=β0.15 M at pHβ=β7) and are therefore suitable materials for bioβinspired devices.
