This research aims to investigate the use of DNA-modified diatom templates for the specific assembly of nanoparticles.
Silica cell walls of diatoms were covalently functionalized with DNA.
DNA-modified gold nanoparticles were prefabricated and assembled onto diatom templates.
The study presented a straightforward chemical procedure for template modification.
Successful sequence-specific assembly of nanoparticles onto diatom templates was achieved.
The study demonstrated a 3D hierarchical arrangement of multiple nanoparticle layers.
The DNA successfully directed the assembly process, highlighting its role in material design.
