Bionanotechnology

DNA has recently emerged as an extremely promising material to organize molecules at the nanoscale. The reliability of base recognition, self-assembling behavior, and addressable surfaces of DNA nanostructures are of unparalleled value in systems of this size. DNA scaffolds have already been used to organize a variety of molecules, including nanoparticles and proteins. New bioconjugationchemistries make it possible […]
