The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Self-assembly of carbon nanotubes into two-dimensional geometries using DNA origami templates. (2010, methodology): “Here we prepare NL-SWNTs using a protection scheme borrowed from the construction of DNA nanomachine”
A robust DNA mechanical device controlled by hybridization topology (2002, neutral): “A trigger mechanism that allows such specific control is the reversible binding of DNA strands, thereby ‘fuelling’ conformational changes in a DNA machin”
Reachability bounds for chemical reaction networks and strand displacement systems (2012, background): “CRNs and thus DSDs can in principle simulate Turing-general models of computation (Qian et al. 2011a; Seelig et al. 2006), and DSDs can be energy efﬁcient (Seelig et al. 2006; Soloveichik et al. 2010; Yurke et al. 2000; Zhang and Seelig 2011).”
Artificial Brownian motors: Controlling transport on the nanoscale (2008, background): “Closely related to synthetic motors are the intriguing possibilities of devising DNA-fueled artificial motors: several settings render possible to biologically engineer nanomachines which move along a priori designed tracks (Turberfield et al., 2003; Yin et al., 2004; Yorke et al., 2000).”
