Experimental study demonstrates the self-assembly of size-controlled DNA nanotubes from simple DNA nanomotifs, indicating broad potential for targeted drug delivery and nanoplasmonic devices.
Nanotubes with different sizes can be readily assembled from simple DNA nanomotifs, which consist of just a few unique DNA sequences. Such structurally well-defi ned DNA-nanotubes will have great potential in many technological applications ranging from drug delivery, to determination of biomacromolecular 3D structures, to nanoplasmonic devices.
