Aug 21, 2020 · Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the self-replicating genetic material that exists in nearly all living organisms. Aside from its role as a living material, synthetic DNA has also...

DNA's ability to form Holliday junctions and double cross‐overs can be used to build complex two‐ and three‐dimensional nano‐scale structures for biotechnological applications and high‐precisions electronics.

Stiffer branched motifs can be used to produce self-assembled two-dimensional and three-dimensional periodic lattices of DNA (crystals). DNA has also been used to make a variety of nanomechanical devices, including molecules that change their shapes, and molecules that can walk along a DNA sidewalk.

Jan 25, 2024 · Here, we review recent studies on DNA–nanomaterial-based biosensors, their mechanism of action, and improved/updated strategies in vivo and in situ. Furthermore, this review highlights the recent methodologies on DNA utilization to exploit the interfacial properties of nanomaterials in DNA sensing.
