Programming Nanoscale Structure Using DNA-Based Information
summary
Describes programmable DNA motifs that produce working structures: 32 nm stripe spacing appears in AFM for DX 2D lattices; triangular DNA motifs self-assemble into macroscopic 200 µm crystals with rhombohedral lattices and cavities; diffraction reaches 3.0–3.4 Å (and ~4 Å from LCLS nanocrystals). Implements sequence-switchable PX/JX devices, an inchworm and a somersaulting walker, a one‑dimensional XOR algorithmic assembly, and a nanoscale assembly line with 5 nm and 10 nm nanoparticles confirmed by TEM.
