Abstract

Lipidated DNAzymes or a lipidated Cu(ii)-complex and lipidated aptamer sequences form supramolecular assemblies of micellar nucleoapzymes for the enhanced oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome. The catalytic functions of the micellar nucleoapzymes are attributed to the concentration of the substrate, using the aptamer units, in close proximity to the active sites.
