Designer DNA nanostructures for therapeutics

The field of structural DNA nanotechnology applies the programmability of Watson-Crick base pairing to the construction of custom nanostructures that are prescribed by the sequence information encoded in DNA molecules. Precisely defined geometries, highly programmable molecular interactions, and outstanding biocompatibility make DNA nanostructures a new category of nanocarriers for drug delivery. Over the past decade, the potential of using DNA...
