Pathway-controlled formation of mesostructured all-DNA colloids and superstructures
Read the full article here: Nature Nanotechnology (2018); DOI:10.1038/s41565-018-0168-1 DNA has traditionally been used for the programmable design of nanostructures by exploiting its sequence-defined supramolecular recognition. However, control on larger length scales or even hierarchical materials that translate to the macroscale remain difficult to construct. Here, we show that the polymer character of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) can be activated via a nucleobase-specific
