DLS data / images of agarose gels with various DNA constructs proving their successful folding and showing triggered corona displacement from core-shell particles. UV melting curves of non-cholesterolized DNA motifs. Confocal micrographs of DNA particles with fluorescent core and corona, vesicles ruptured and permeabilized by triggered DNA particles, E. coli entrapped in a DNA net formed by triggered DNA particles. TEM micrographs of core-shell DNA particles. Fast frame rate bright-field videos and bright-field images of non-triggered / triggered DNA particles, E. coli entrapped in a DNA net. Epifluorescence micrographs of of non-triggered / triggered DNA particles, E. coli entrapped in a DNA net. Fluorescence measurements showing the progressive leakage of calcein from LUVs. Absorbance measurements used to calculate the lipid concentration in GUVs and LUVs. Optical density measurements showing the bacterial growth in the presence of core-shell DNA particles.
