摘要
DNA, apart from being a natural biological information carrier, has also been recognized as a useful building material in the field of nanotechnology. Its miniature scale, geometric properties, and molecular recognition capacity make DNA an appealing candidate for the construction of novel nanomaterials. Here we summarize the latest developments and describe the challenges and emerging applications of this field.
