Nonenzymatic catalytic assembly of valency-controlled DNA architectures for nanoparticles and live cell assembly

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Jul 8;57(55):6760-6763. doi: 10.1039/d1cc02455h.

Abstract

The precise control over high-order DNA architecture assembly might be challenging due to complicated circuit design and functional unit synthesis. Here, we show an enzyme-free, catalytic assembly to construct nanometer and micrometer architectures in a bottom-up manner and applied them in nanoparticles and cell assembly.
