    Site-specific positioning of dendritic alkyl chains on DNA cages enables their geometry-dependent self-assembly

    Nature uses a combination of non-covalent interactions to create a hierarchy of complex systems from simple building blocks. One example is the selective association of the hydrophobic side chains that are a s...

    Self-Assembly of Metal-DNA Triangles and DNA Nanotubes with Synthetic Junctions

    The site-specific insertion of organic and inorganic molecules into DNA nanostructures can provide unique structural and functional capabilities. We have demonstrated the inclusion of two types of molecules. T...

    Loading and selective release of cargo in DNA nanotubes with longitudinal variation

    Nanotubes hold promise for a number of biological and materials applications because of their high aspect ratio and encapsulation potential. A particularly attractive goal is to access nanotubes that exert wel...

    Modular construction of DNA nanotubes of tunable geometry and single- or double-stranded character

    DNA nanotubes can template the growth of nanowires1, orient transmembrane proteins for nuclear magnetic resonance determination2, and can potentially act as stiff interconnects, tracks for molecular motors and na...
