What is it about?
DNA material prepared in a sustainable solvent system. The material showed dual properties such as magnetic and anti bacterial.

Why is it important?
Nanomagnetic materials are being emerging for cancer therapies due to their ability to activate mechanosensitive ion channels of tissues. In a research endeavor we were able to functionalize deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with Fe3O4 nanoparticles and layered dititanate sheets in a bio-based non toxic solvent system known as deep eutectic solvent. The material thus obtained showed magnetic behavior as well as anti bacterial activity against both gram positive and negative bacteria.
