Abstract

During the past decade biomacromolecules attracted tremendous attention as versatile materials for self-assembly, nanoconstruction, and templating. An increasing number of reports highlights creative applications of DNA, proteins, and their assemblies for construction of materials, which synthesis by traditional top-down techniques is not possible. This review summarizes various aspects of the application of biomacromolecules and their self-organized structures for building-up inorganic nanomaterials of different complicity by metallization or mineralization of natural templates. The central focus of the review is given to DNA-templated and DNA-directed synthesis of nanostructures, as the progress in the utilization of DNA for nanoconstruction is most considerable.
