Sequential growth of long DNA strands with user-defined patterns for nanostructures and scaffolds
DNA strands of well-defined sequence are valuable in synthetic biology and nanostructure assembly. Drawing inspiration from solid-phase synthesis, here we describe a DNA assembly method that uses time, or orde...

Stepwise growth of surface-grafted DNA nanotubes visualized at the single-molecule level
DNA nanotubes offer a high aspect ratio and rigidity, attractive attributes for the controlled assembly of hierarchically complex linear arrays. It is highly desirable to control the positioning of rungs along...

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...

Metal–nucleic acid cages
Metal–nucleic acid cages are a promising new class of materials. Like metallo-supramolecular cages, these systems can use their metals for redox, photochemical, magnetic and catalytic control over encapsulated...
