Abstract

DNA-capped nanoparticles are a new class of multifunctional materials by combining unique properties of nanomaterials and unique properties of DNA molecules. They can serve as building blocks to construct highly ordered superstructures with precise periodicity and complexity [1]. In particular, it is critical to develop methodologies to construct structurally well-defined assemblies (“artificial molecules” [2, 3], “artificial polymers” [4, 5], “supracrystals” [6–11]) to be used in future materials and devices. The structural diversity and sequence programmability of DNA make it a powerful tool for designing such future materials with unprecedented properties [12, 13].
