Sequence-Controlled Polymers (2013, background): “The self-assembly of sequence-controlled oligomers, such as oligopeptides and oligonucleotides, has been investigated (3, 67).”
The Emerging Field of RNA Nanotechnology (2010, neutral): “The advantages of RNA nanomedicine include: (1) self-assembly (see ‘Techniques for constructing RNA nanoparticles’ section for self-assembly and self-processing in vivo); (2) multivalency; (3) targeted delivery; (4) protein-free; (5) nanoscale size; (6) controlled synthesis with defined structure an”
Programmable materials and the nature of the DNA bond (2015, background): “We foresee the recent advances in nanomaterials synthesis facilitated by DNA-based assembly processes as capable of one day producing a synthetic methodology that may rival, and in certain cases exceed, at the nanoscale what smallmolecule chemists have achieved at the molecular scale (3, 4).”
Dynamic DNA nanotechnology using strand-displacement reactions. (2011, background): “Structural DNA nanotechnology has achieved the construction of two- and three-dimensional objects of varying sizes and complexity using 'bottom-up' DNA self-assembly, and has culminated in the development of macroscopic materials with nanometre-scale addressabilit”
