DNA nanotechnology involves using DNA as a programmable material to design and construct nanoscale shapes such as materials with novel properties or devices with new functionalities. DNA is composed of four nucleotides (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine) arranged along a phosphate-sugar backbone that allows them to pair up selectively (A with T and C with G). This predictable pairing allows scientists to design DNA sequences that can self-assemble into two- and three-dimensional arrays ... Read more
