Abstract
The combination of DNA nanotechnology and Nano Gold (NG) plasmon has opened exciting possibilities for a new generation of functional plasmonic systems that exhibit tailored optical properties and find utility in various applications. In this review, the booming development of dynamic gold nanostructures are summarized, which are formed by DNA self-assembly using DNA-modified NG, DNA frameworks, and various driving forces. The utilization of bottom-up strategies enables precise control over the assembly of reversible and dynamic aggregations, nano-switcher structures, and robotic nanomachines capable of undergoing on-demand, reversible structural changes that profoundly impact their properties. Benefiting from the vast design possibilities, complete addressability, and sub-10 nm resolution, DNA duplexes, tiles, single-stranded tiles and origami structures serve as excellent platforms for constructing diverse 3D reconfigurable plasmonic nanostructures with tailored optical properties. Leveraging the responsive nature of DNA interactions, the fabrication of dynamic assemblies of NG becomes readily achievable, and environmental stimulation can be harnessed as a driving force for the nanomotors. It is envisioned that intelligent DNA-assembled NG nanodevices will assume increasingly important roles in the realms of biological, biomedical, and nanomechanical studies, opening a new avenue toward exploration and innovation.

Abstract
Although a broad range of ligand-functionalized nanoparticles and physico-chemical triggers have been exploited to create stimuli-responsive colloidal systems, little attention has been paid to the reversible assembly of unmodified nanoparticles with non-covalently bound proteins. Previously, we reported that a derivative of green fluorescent protein engineered with oppositely located silica-binding peptides mediates the repeated assembly and disassembly of 10-nm silica nanoparticles when pH is toggled between 7.5 and 8.5. We captured the subtle interplay between interparticle electrostatic repulsion and their protein-mediated short-range attraction with a multiscale model energetically benchmarked to collective system behavior captured by scattering experiments. Here, we show that both solution conditions (pH and ionic strength) and protein engineering (sequence and position of engineered silica-binding peptides) provide pathways for reversible control over growth and fragmentation, leading to clusters ranging in size from 25 nm protein-coated particles to micrometer-size aggregate. We further find that the higher electrolyte environment associated with successive cycles of base addition eventually eliminates reversibility. Our model accurately predicts these multiple length scales phenomena. The underpinning concepts provide design principles for the dynamic control of other protein- and particle-based nanocomposites.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology is a unique field, where physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, and materials science can elegantly converge. Since the original proposal of Nadrian Seeman, significant advances have been achieved in the past four decades. During this glory time, the DNA origami technique developed by Paul Rothemund further pushed the field forward with a vigorous momentum, fostering a plethora of concepts, models, methodologies, and applications that were not thought of before. This review focuses on the recent progress in DNA origami-engineered nanomaterials in the past five years, outlining the exciting achievements as well as the unexplored research avenues. We believe that the spirit and assets that Seeman left for scientists will continue to bring interdisciplinary innovations and useful applications to this field in the next decade.

Abstract
Chiral Au nanorods (c-Au NRs) with diverse architectures constitute an interesting nanospecies in the field of chiral nanophotonics. The numerous possible plasmonic behaviors of Au NRs can be coupled with chirality to initiate, tune, and amplify their chiroptical response. Interdisciplinary technologies have boosted the development of fabrication and applications of c-Au NRs. Herein, we have focused on the role of chirality in c-Au NRs which helps to manipulate the light-matter interaction in nontraditional ways. A broad overview on the chirality origin, chirality transfer, chiroptical activities, artificially synthetic methodologies, and circularly polarized applications of c-Au NRs will be summarized and discussed. A deeper understanding of light-matter interaction in c-Au NRs will help to manipulate the chirality at the nanoscale, reveal the natural evolution process taking place, and set up a series of circularly polarized applications.

Abstract
As chiral antennas, plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) can enhance chiral responses of chiral materials by forming hybrid structures and improving their own chirality preference as well. Chirality-dependent properties of plasmonic NPs broaden application potentials of chiral nanostructures in the biomedical field. Herein, we review the wet-chemical synthesis and self-assembly fabrication of gold-NP-based chiral nanostructures. Discrete chiral NPs are mainly obtained via the seed-mediated growth of achiral gold NPs under the guide of chiral molecules during growth. Irradiation with chiral light during growth is demonstrated to be a promising method for chirality control. Chiral assemblies are fabricated via the bottom-up assembly of achiral gold NPs using chiral linkers or guided by chiral templates, which exhibit large chiroplasmonic activities. In describing recent advances, emphasis is placed on the design and synthesis of chiral nanostructures with the tuning and amplification of plasmonic circular dichroism responses. In addition, the review discusses the most recent or even emerging trends in biomedical fields from biosensing and imaging to disease diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Gold nanocubes (AuNCs) with tunable localized surface plasmon resonance properties are good candidates for plasmonic gap nanostructures (PGNs) with hot spots (areas with intense electric field localization). Nevertheless, it remains challenging to create shape-controllable nanogaps between AuNCs. Herein, we report a DNA origami directed pattern recognition strategy to assemble AuNCs into PGNs. By tuning the position and number of capture strands on the DNA origami template, different geometrical configurations of PGNs with nanometer-precise and shape-controllable gaps are created. The localized field enhancement in these gaps can generate hot spots that are in accordance with finite difference time domain simulations. Benefiting from the single Raman probe molecule precisely anchored at these nanogaps, the dramatic enhanced electromagnetic fields localized in hot spots arouse stronger single-molecule SERS (SM-SERS) signals. This method can be utilized in the design of ultrahigh-sensitivity photonic devices with tailored optical properties and SERS-based applications.

Abstract
Manipulating the super-assembly of polymeric building blocks still remains a great challenge due to their thermodynamic instability. Here, we report on a type of three-dimensional hierarchical core-satellite SiO2@monomicelle spherical superstructures via a previously unexplored monomicelle interfacial super-assembly route. Notably, in this superstructure, an ultrathin single layer of monomicelle subunits (~18 nm) appears in a typically hexagon-like regular discontinuous distribution (adjacent micelle distance of ~30 nm) on solid spherical interfaces (SiO2), which is difficult to achieve by conventional super-assembled methods. Besides, the number of the monomicelles on colloidal SiO2 interfaces can be quantitatively controlled (from 76 to 180). This quantitative control can be precisely manipulated by tuning the interparticle electrostatic interactions (the intermicellar electrostatic repulsion and electrostatic attractions between the monomicelle units and the SiO2 substrate). This monomicelle interfacial super-assembly strategy will enable a controllable way for building multiscale hierarchical regular micro- and/or macroscale materials and devices.

Abstract
Controlled assembly of inorganic nanoparticles with different compositions, sizes and shapes into higher-order structures of collective functionalities is a central pursued objective in chemistry, physics, materials science and nanotechnology. The emerging chiral superstructures, which break spatial symmetries at the nanoscale, have attracted particular attention, owing to their unique chiroptical properties and potential applications in optics, catalysis, biology and so on. Various bottom-up strategies have been developed to build inorganic chiral superstructures based on the intrinsic configurational preference of the building blocks, external fields or chiral templates. Self-assembled inorganic chiral superstructures have demonstrated significant superior optical activity from the strong electric/magnetic coupling between the building blocks, as compared with the organic counterparts. In this Review, we discuss recent progress in preparing self-assembled inorganic chiral superstructures, with an emphasis on the driving forces that enable symmetry breaking during the assembly process. The chiroptical properties and applications are highlighted and a forward-looking trajectory of where research efforts should be focused is discussed.

Abstract
In the past decade, ultrasmall luminescent metal nanoparticles (ULMNPs, d < 3 nm) have achieved rapid progress in addressing many challenges in the healthcare field because of their excellent physicochemical properties and biological behaviors. With the sharp shrinking size of large plasmonic metal nanoparticles (PMNPs), the contributions from the surface characteristics increase significantly, which brings both opportunities and challenges in the application-driven surface engineering of ULMNPs toward advanced biological applications. Here, the systematic advancements in the biological applications of ULMNPs from bioimaging to theranostics are summarized with emphasis on the versatile surface engineering strategies in the regulation of biological targeting and imaging performance. The efforts in the surface functionalization strategies of ULMNPs for enhanced disease targeting abilities are first discussed. Thereafter, self-assembly strategies of ULMNPs for fabricating multifunctional nanostructures for multimodal imaging and nanomedicine are discussed. Further, surface engineering strategies of ratiometric ULMNPs to enhance the imaging stability to address the imaging challenges in complicated bioenvironments are summarized. Finally, the phototoxicity of ULMNPs and future perspectives are also reviewed, which are expected to provide a fundamental understanding of the physicochemical properties and biological behaviors of ULMNPs to accelerate their future clinical applications in healthcare.

Abstract
Inorganic chiral hybrid nanostructures embedding chirality within distinct material compositions can create novel chiral properties and functionalities absent from achiral ones, but remain largely unexplored. We report for the first time a class of chiral plasmonic metal-semiconductor core-shell nanostructures by employing structurally chiral nanoparticles as chirality inducing templates to grow functional shell materials, which allows us to independently control material parameters including core geometry and shell thickness, as well as handedness of the system. We experimentally and theoretically achieve enhanced and tunable chiroptical activity of the hetero-structures as a result of the core-shell strong coupling effect. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we show the chiral hybrid nanostructures can drive chirality-dependent photocatalytic hydrogen generation under circularly polarized light. This study enables rational design and functionalization of chiral hybrid nanomaterials towards enhanced chiral light-matter interactions and chiral device applications.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape and adjustable plasmonic properties. With the continuous improvement in synthetic methods, a variety of materials have been attached around Au NRs to achieve unexpected or improved plasmonic properties and explore state-of-the-art technologies. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the latest progress on Au NRs, the most versatile anisotropic plasmonic NPs. We present a representative overview of the advances in the synthetic strategies and outline an extensive catalogue of Au-NR-based heterostructures with tailored architectures and special functionalities. The bottom-up assembly of Au NRs into preprogrammed metastructures is then discussed, as well as the design principles. We also provide a systematic elucidation of the different plasmonic properties associated with the Au-NR-based structures, followed by a discussion of the promising applications of Au NRs in various fields. We finally discuss the future research directions and challenges of Au NRs.

Abstract
Invention of DNA origami has transformed the fabrication and application of biological nanomaterials. In this review, we discuss DNA origami nanoassemblies according to their four fundamental mechanical properties in response to external forces: elasticity, pliability, plasticity and stability. While elasticity and pliability refer to reversible changes in structures and associated properties, plasticity shows irreversible variation in topologies. The irreversible property is also inherent in the disintegration of DNA nanoassemblies, which is manifested by its mechanical stability. Disparate DNA origami devices in the past decade have exploited the mechanical regimes of pliability, elasticity, and plasticity, among which plasticity has shown its dominating potential in biomechanical and physiochemical applications. On the other hand, the mechanical stability of the DNA origami has been used to understand the mechanics of the assembly and disassembly of DNA nano-devices. At the end of this review, we discuss the challenges and future development of DNA origami nanoassemblies, again, from these fundamental mechanical perspectives.

Abstract
Surface functionalization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with thiolate ligands is a successful strategy for controlling their stability, nanotoxicity, circulation, and interaction with biological environments as leading nanomedicines. However, the effects of the weak anchoring groups of NH2 and COOH have been long-term ignored because of the well-recognized strong anchoring site of S-Au. Herein, the authors achieve controllable weak anchoring sites of the luminescent AuNPs using a typical thiolate peptide such as glutathione with anchoring groups of SH, COOH, and NH2 . Additionally, they establish that not only the strong anchoring site of S-Au, but also the weak anchoring sites from N-Au and COO-Au are critical to the behavior of AuNPs at both in vitro and in vivo levels. These results open up new possibilities for the fundamental understanding of the significance of the weak anchoring sites in the future surface functionalization of nanomedicines toward advanced theranostics.

Abstract
In the past few decades, DNA nanotechnology has been developed a lot due to their appealing features such as structural programmability and easy functionalization. In the emerging field of DNA nanotechnology, DNA molecules are regarded not only as biological information carriers but also as building blocks in the assembly of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional nanostructures, serving as outstanding templates for the bottom-up fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures. By arranging nanoparticles with different components and morphologies on the predesigned DNA templates, various static and dynamic plasmonic nanostructures with tailored optical properties have been obtained. In this review, we summarized recent advances in the design and construction of static and dynamic DNA-based plasmonic nanostructures. In addition, we addressed their emerging applications in the fields of optics and biosensors. At the end of this review, the open questions and future directions of DNA-based plasmonic nanostructure are also discussed.

Abstract
A sergeants-and-soldiers (S&S) effect is very useful to the fabrication of supramolecular chirality. This strategy has not yet been explored in the construction of chiral plasmonic superstructures. Herein, we demonstrate a spatially separated S&S effect in fabricating plasmonic superstructures and modulating their chiroptical responses. Specifically, chiral cysteine (Cys) molecules, acting as sergeants, are sandwiched between a gold nanorod (AuNR) core and a Au shell via AuNR-templated Au overgrowth. Cationic surfactants, CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) or CPC (cetylpyridinium chloride), are modified on the AuNR@Cys@Au shell surface, thus spatially separating from the chiral sergeants. During the assembly process, the surfactants act as soldiers which could transfer and amplify the local chirality induced by the adsorbed chiral molecules from the plasmonic monomers to the oligomers. Huge PCD signals could be achieved in the plasmonic oligomers by finely tuning chiral sergeants and achiral soldiers, indicating the feasibility of the S&S effect in fabricating chiral plasmonic superstructures.

Abstract
Metallic nanocube ensembles exhibit tunable localized surface plasmon resonance to induce the light manipulation at the subwavelength scale. Nevertheless, precisely control anisotropic metallic nanocube ensembles with relative spatial directionality remains a challenge. Here, we report a DNA origami based nanoprinting (DOBNP) strategy to transfer the essential DNA strands with predefined sequences and positions to the surface of the gold nanocubes (AuNCs). These DNA strands ensured the specific linkages between AuNCs and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that generating the stereo-controlled AuNC-AuNP nanostructures (AANs) with controlled geometry and composition. By anchoring the single dye molecule in hot spot regions, the dramatic enhanced electromagnetic field aroused stronger surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal amplification. Our approach opens the opportunity for the fabrication of stereo-controlled metal nanostructures for designing highly sensitive photonic devices.

Abstract
The reliable programmability of DNA origami makes it an extremely attractive tool for bottom-up self-assembly of complex nanostructures. Utilizing this property for the tuned arrangement of plasmonic nanoparticles holds great promise particularly in the field of biosensing. Plasmonic particles are beneficial for sensing in multiple ways, from enhancing fluorescence to enabling a visualization of the nanoscale dynamic actuation via chiral rearrangements. In this Perspective, we discuss the recent developments and possible future directions of DNA origami-enabled plasmonic sensing systems. We start by discussing recent advancements in the area of fluorescence-based plasmonic sensing using DNA origami. We then move on to surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy sensors followed by chiral sensing, both utilizing DNA origami nanostructures. We conclude by providing our own views on the future prospects for plasmonic biosensors enabled using DNA origami.

Abstract
Chiral nanoparticle (NP) superstructures, in which discrete NPs are assembled into chiral architectures, represent an exciting and growing class of nanomaterials. Their enantiospecific properties make them promising candidates for a variety of potential applications. Helical NP superstructures are a rapidly expanding subclass of chiral nanomaterials in which NPs are arranged in three dimensions about a screw axis. Their intrinsic asymmetry gives rise to a variety of interesting properties, including plasmonic chiroptical activity in the visible spectrum, and they hold immense promise as chiroptical sensors and as components of optical metamaterials. Herein, a concise history of the foundational conceptual advances that helped define the field of chiral nanomaterials is provided, and some of the major achievements in the development of helical nanomaterials are highlighted. Next, the key methodologies employed to construct these materials are discussed, and specific merits that are offered by each assembly methodology are identified, as well as their potential disadvantages. Finally, some specific examples of the emerging applications of these materials are discussed and some areas of future development and research focus are proposed.

Abstract
Nature is chiral, thus chirality is a key concept required to understand a multitude of systems in physics, chemistry, and biology. The field of optics offers valuable tools to probe the chirality of nanosystems, including the measurement of circular dichroism, the differential interaction strength between matter and circularly polarized light with opposite helicity. Simultaneously, the use of plasmonic systems with giant light-interaction cross-sections opens new paths to investigate and manipulate systems on the nanoscale. Consequently, the interest in chiral plasmonic and hybrid systems has continually grown in recent years, due to their potential applications in biosensing, polarization-encoded optical communication, polarization-selective chemical reactions, and materials with polarization-dependent light-matter interaction. Experimentally, chiral properties of nanostructures can be either created artificially using modern fabrication techniques involving inorganic materials, or borrowed from nature using bioassembly or biomolecular templating. Herein, the recent progress in the field of plasmonic chirality is summarized, with a focus on both the theoretical background and the experimental advances in the study of chirality in various systems, including molecular-plasmonic assemblies, chiral plasmonic nanostructures, chiral assemblies of interacting plasmonic nanoparticles, and chiral metal metasurfaces and metamaterials. The growth prospects of this field are also discussed.

Abstract
Chirality is a basic property of nature and has great importance in photonics, biochemistry, medicine, and catalysis. This importance has led to the emergence of the chiral inorganic nanostructure field in the last two decades, providing opportunities to control the chirality of light and biochemical reactions. While the facile production of 3D nanostructures has remained a major challenge, recent advances in nanocrystal synthesis have provided a new pathway for efficient control of chirality at the nanoscale by transferring molecular chirality to the geometry of nanocrystals. Interestingly, this discovery stems from a purely crystallographic outcome: chirality can be generated on high-Miller-index surfaces, even for highly symmetric metal crystals. This is the starting point herein, with an overview of the scientific history and a summary of the crystallographic definition. With the advance of nanomaterial synthesis technology, high-Miller-index planes can be selectively exposed on metallic nanoparticles. The enantioselective interaction of chiral molecules and high-Miller-index facets can break the mirror symmetry of the metal nanocrystals. Herein, the fundamental principle of chirality evolution is emphasized and it is shown how chiral surfaces can be directly correlated with chiral morphologies, thus serving as a guide for researchers in chiral catalysts, chiral plasmonics, chiral metamaterials, and photonic devices.

Abstract
We study the chiral optical properties of one-dimensional arrays of plasmonic twisted nanorod dimers. By using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation and analytical approach based on the coupled dipole model, we have revealed unusual chiral optical responses due to the cooperation of local structure and collective effect. It is found that one-dimensional arrays of achiral unit may show chiral optical responses. Moreover, besides the classical bisignate lineshape of circular dichroism (CD) induced by localized surface plasmon resonance, a new CD peak/dip appears, originating from Wood anomaly. Near the Wood anomaly frequency, the optimal twist angle to achieve the highest CD has been shifted compared with that of single twisted nanorod dimer. The universal geometric configurations of the strongest chiral optical responses have been found.

Abstract
Self-assembly represents probably the most flexible way to construct metastructured materials and devices from a wealth of colloidal building blocks with synthetically controllable sizes, shapes, and elemental compositions. In principle, surface capping is unavoidable during the synthesis of nanomaterials with well-defined geometry and stability. The ligand layer also endows inorganic building blocks with molecular recognition ability responsible for their assembly into desired structures. In the case of plasmonic nanounits, precise positioning of them in a nanomolecule or an ordered nanoarray provides a chance to shape their electrodynamic behaviors and thereby assists experimental demonstration of modern nanoplasmonics toward practical uses. Despite previous achievements in bottom-up nanofabrication, a big challenge exists toward strong coupling and facile charge transfer between adjacent nanounits in an assembly. This difficulty has impeded a functional development of plasmonic nanoassemblies. The weakened interparticle coupling originates from the electrostatic and steric barriers of ionic/molecular adsorbates to guarantee a good colloidal stability. Such a dilemma is rooted in fundamental colloidal science, which lacks an effective solution. During the past several years, a chemical tool termed Ag ion soldering (AIS) has been developed to overcome the above situation toward functional colloidal nanotechnology. In particular, a dimeric assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles has been taken as an ideal model to study plasmonic coupling and interparticle charge transfer. This Account starts with a demonstration of the chemical mechanism of AIS, followed by a verification of its workability in various self-assembly systems. A further use of AIS to realize postsynthetic coupling of DNA-directed nanoparticle clusters evidences its compatibility with DNA nanotechnology. Benefiting from the sub-nanometer interparticle gap achieved by AIS, a conductive pathway is established between two nanoparticles in an assembly. Accordingly, light-driven charge transfer between the conductively bridged plasmonic units is realized with highly tunable resonance frequencies. These situations have been demonstrated by thermal/photothermal sintering of silica-isolated nanoparticle dimers as well as gap-specific electroless gold/silver deposition. The regioselective silver deposition is then combined with galvanic replacement to obtain catalytically active nanofoci (plasmonic nanogaps). The resulting structures are useful for real time and on-site Raman spectroscopic tracking of chemical reactions in the plasmonic hotspots (nanogaps) as well as for study of plasmon-mediated/field-enhanced catalysis. The Account is concluded by a deeper insight into the chemical mechanism of AIS and its adaption to conformation-rich structures. Finally, AIS-enabled functional pursuits are suggested for self-assembled materials with strongly coupled and easily reshapable physicochemical properties.

Abstract
Circular dichroism (CD) from hybrid complexes of plasmonic nanostructures and chiral molecules has recently attracted significant interest. However, the hierarchical chiral self-assembly of molecules on surfaces of metal nanostructures has remained challenging. As a result, a deep understanding of plasmon-exciton coupling between surface plasmons and chiral collective molecular excitations has not been achieved. In particular, the critical impact of resonant plasmon-exciton coupling within the hybrid is unclear. Here, we employed DNA-templated strategies to control the chiral self-assembly of achiral chromophores with rationally tuned exciton transitions on gold nanosphere (AuNP) or gold nanorod (AuNR) surfaces. Unlike many previous chiral plasmonic hybrids utilizing chiral biomolecules with CD signals in the UV range, we designed structures with the chiral excitonic resonances at visible wavelengths. The constructed hybrid complexes displayed strong chiroptical activity that depends on the spectral overlap between the chiral collective molecular excitations and the plasmon resonances. We find that when spectral overlap is optimized, the molecular CD signal originating from the chiral self-assemblies of chromophores was strongly enhanced (maximum enhancement of nearly an order of magnitude) and a plasmonic CD signal was induced. Surprisingly, the sign of the molecular CD was reversed despite different self-assembly mechanisms of the Au nanoparticle-chromophore hybrids. Our results provide new insight into plasmonic CD enhancements and will inspire further studies on chiral light-matter interactions in strongly coupled plasmonic-excitonic systems.

Abstract
The coupling between noble metal nanostructures and chiral molecules gives rise to strong chiroptical responses in the range from the ultraviolet (UV) to visible spectrum. In this work, cysteine-modified Au/Ag alloyed nanotubes (ANTs) have been prepared by coupling cysteine with Au/Ag ANTs. The chiroptical responses strongly depend on the chirality of cysteine and show clear mirrored behaviours. In contrast to Ag- or Au-cysteine chiral hybrid nanorods, the cysteine-modified Au/Ag ANTs exhibit higher chiroptical responses due to a stronger local electromagnetic field. The induced CD signals emerge in the interband absorption region of Au/Ag ANTs rather than in the local surface plasmon bands, which can be attributed to both the extended helical network conformation on the surface of Au/Ag ANTs and the near-field enhancement effect of plasmonic nanotubes. This confirms that Coulomb interaction induces coupling between cysteine and Au/Ag ANTs, which allows cysteine molecules to form an extended helical network on the surface of Au/Ag ANTs. Furthermore, the cysteine-modified Au/Ag ANTs also show excellent chiral recognition for amino acids in catalytic electrochemical reactions due to the presence of chiral active sites and the steric effect of large groups.

Abstract
The creation and engineering of artificial enzymes remain a challenge, especially the arrangement of enzymes into geometric patterns with nanometer precision. In this work, we fabricated a series of novel DNA-tetrahedron-scaffolded-DNAzymes (Tetrazymes) and evaluated the catalytic activity of these Tetrazymes by electrochemistry. Tetrazymes were constructed by precisely positioning G-quadruplex on different sites of a DNA tetrahedral framework, with hemin employed as the co-catalyst. Immobilization of Tetrazymes on a gold electrode surface revealed horseradish peroxidase (HPR)-mimicking bioelectrocatalytic property. Cyclic voltammogram and amperometry were employed to evaluate the capability of Tetrazymes of different configurations to electrocatalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). These artificial Tetrazymes displayed 6- to 14-fold higher enzymatic activity than G-quadruplex/hemin (G4-hemin) without the DNA tetrahedron scaffold, demonstrating application potential in developing novel G-quadruplex-based electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
With the development of structural DNA nanotechnology, DNA has now far exceeded its original function: as a genetic code. It can, in principle, self-assemble into desired shapes with accurate size. Moreover, it can perform as a functional linker to program other materials by grafting DNA onto these materials. Nanoparticles, both inorganic and organic, can now be programmatically assembled into complex 3D superlattices with high order when guided by DNA. By encoding functions into the as-assembled nanoparticles, materials with excellent collective effects may be invented. Here, how nanoparticles with different shapes or functions are successfully fabricated into 3D lattices with the help of DNA shells coated on the surface and how scientists can produce desired lattices by design are reviewed. The cases to achieve dynamic superlattices of nanoparticles by affecting the environment where DNA survives are also discussed.

Abstract
Energy-dissipating self-assembly is at the basis of many important cellular processes, such as cell organization, proliferation, and morphogenesis. Beyond equilibrium self-assembled molecular systems and materials, it is increasingly recognized that the control of assembly kinetics provides great opportunity for the next generation of molecular materials with intelligent behavior including programmed spatiotemporal organization. Here we show the transient self-assembly of active chiral plasmonic metamolecules (CPMs), which is controlled by the proton flux generated from a positive-feedback chemical reaction network. The fuel-conversion kinetics allows for temporal control and adaptive tuning of multiple structures of plasmonic metamolecules (PMs). This approach enables autonomous tuning of chiroptical properties of metamolecules with dynamic behavior. Moreover, we show that 11 types of spatial configurations of PMs are assembled, and 9 types of temporal configurations of CPMs are differentiated.

Abstract
Many DNA-functionalized nanomaterials and biosensors have been reported, but most have ignored the influence of DNA on the stability of nanoparticles. We observed that cytosine-rich DNA oligonucleotides can etch silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). In this work, we showed that phosphorothioate (PS)-modified DNA (PS-DNA) can etch AgNPs independently of DNA sequence, suggesting that the thio-modifications are playing the major role in etching. Compared to unmodified DNA (e.g., poly-cytosine DNA), the concentration of required PS DNA decreases sharply, and the reaction rate increases. Furthermore, etching by PS-DNA occurs quite independent of pH, which is also different from unmodified DNA. The PS-DNA mediated etching could also be controlled well by varying DNA length and conformation, and the number and location of PS modifications. With a higher activity of PS-DNA, the process of etching, ripening, and further etching was taken place sequentially. The etching ability is inhibited by forming duplex DNA and thus etching can be used to measure the concentration of complementary DNA.

Abstract
The DNA origami technique has empowered a new paradigm in plasmonics for manipulating light and matter at the nanoscale. This interdisciplinary field has witnessed vigorous growth, outlining a viable route to construct advanced plasmonic architectures with tailored optical properties. However, so far plasmonic systems templated by DNA origami have been restricted to respond to only single stimuli. Despite broad interest and scientific importance, thermal and aptamer-target regulations have not yet been widely utilized to reconfigure three-dimensional plasmonic architectures. In this Letter, we demonstrate a chiral plasmonic nanosystem integrated with split aptamers, which can respond to both thermal and aptamer-target regulations. We show that our dual-responsive system can be noninvasively tuned in a wide range of temperatures, readily correlating thermal control with optical signal changes. Meanwhile, our system can detect specific targets including adenosine triphosphate and cocaine molecules, which further enhance the optical response modulations and in turn influence the thermal tunability.

Abstract
Chiral cysteine-directed assemblies of Au@Ag core-shell nanocrystals (CSNCs) and Au/Ag nanorods with end-to-end (ETE) and side-by-side (SBS) configurations are fabricated and used to explore the definitive factors affecting the chiral response. The interaction between cysteine and metallic nanoparticles leads to intense and widely tunable plasmonic circular dichroism (PCD) ranging from a near-infrared (NIR) to ultraviolet (UV) regime. More importantly, it was observed that, in Ag nanorod and CSNC samples with varied aspect ratios, the ETE assembled patterns exhibit much larger PCD enhancement than SBS assemblies in an l/d-cysteine solvent environment. Very surprisingly, such a giant PCD response in these assemblies is completely different from that of the Au nanorod assembly case as reported earlier. Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the interplay between the local field enhancement and backaction, triggered by the geometric configuration differentia of covered achiral CTAB molecules on Ag and Au surfaces, plays a crucial role in chiral response variances and leads to geometry-dependent optical activities. This work not only sheds light on understanding the relationship between the configuration of plasmonic nanostructure assemblies and geometry-manipulated circular dichroism, but also paves the way for predictive design of plasmonic biosensors or other nanodevices with controllable optical activities from the UV to the NIR light range.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a kind of single-stranded small RNA molecules, play a crucial role in physiological and pathological processes in human beings. We describe here the detection of miRNA, by side-by-side self-assembly of plasmonic nanorod dimers in living cells, which gives rise to a distinct intense chiroplasmonic response and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The dynamic assembly of chiral nanorods was confirmed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), also in living cells. Our study provides insights into in situ self-assembly of plasmonic probes for the real-time measurement of biomarkers in living cells. This could improve the current understanding of cellular RNA-protein complexes, pharmaco-genomics, and genetic diagnosis and therapies.

Abstract
Supraparticles are self-limiting nanoparticle ensembles with attractive properties from their unique hierarchical (primary and secondary) structures. Aiming at relieving the bottleneck of the very limited material building blocks in DNA nanotechnology, we herein demonstrate Pt-based supraparticles as catalytic materials for valence-controllable and high density DNA functionalizations toward DNA-programmed nanoassembly.

Abstract
The adsorption of oligonucleotides on citrate-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is studied under conditions "right after the synthesis", i.e., in a weak citrate solution at a pH value close to neutral (5.8 ± 0.2). We found that short-term elevation of reaction temperature under these conditions provides fast and strong adsorption of oligonucleotides on the surface of AuNPs. The affinity of oligonucleotides to AuNPs depends on the length of the oligonucleotide and its nucleotide composition. The shortest oligonucleotide in this study, T6, is the most affine, having the equilibrium binding constant KD = 0.10 ± 0.04 nM and the highest surface density-up to 200 molecules per one particle. Olygothymidylates are at least as affine to AuNPs as oligoadenylates, while oligocytidilates show the lowest affinity. We also studied the interaction of resulting DNA/AuNPs with a series of low- and high-molecular thiols, which provide a variety of operations with adsorbed oligonucleotides: displacement (complete or partial) and encapsulation in a secondary shell. These experiments imitate someway the conditions in a living cell or serum, and show that DNA/AuNPs obtained by this method can be applied in a number of bionanotechnological applications, including delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics and theranostics.

Abstract
The development of DNA nanotechnology, especially the advent of DNA origami, has made DNA ideally suited to construct nanostructures with unprecedented complexity and arbitrariness. As a fully addressable platform, DNA origami can be used to organize discrete entities in space through DNA hybridization with nanometer accuracy. Among a variety of functionalized particles, metal nanoparticles such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) feature an important pathway to endow DNA-origami-assembled nanostructures with tailored optical functionalities. When metal particles are placed in close proximity, their particle plasmons, i.e., collective oscillations of conduction electrons, can be coupled together, giving rise to a wealth of interesting optical phenomena. Nevertheless, characterization methods that can read out the optical responses from plasmonic nanostructures composed of small metal particles, and especially can optically distinguish in situ their minute conformation changes, are very few. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy has proven to be a successful means to overcome these challenges because of its high sensitivity in discrimination of three-dimensional conformation changes. In this Account, we discuss a variety of static and dynamic chiral plasmonic nanostructures enabled by DNA nanotechnology. In the category of static plasmonic systems, we first show chiral plasmonic nanostructures based on spherical AuNPs, including plasmonic helices, toroids, and tetramers. To enhance the CD responses, anisotropic gold nanorods with larger extinction coefficients are utilized to create chiral plasmonic crosses and helical superstructures. Next, we highlight the inevitable evolution from static to dynamic plasmonic systems along with the fast development of this interdisciplinary field. Several dynamic plasmonic systems are reviewed according to their working mechanisms. We first elucidate a reconfigurable plasmonic cross structure that can execute DNA-regulated conformational changes on the nanoscale. Hosted by a reconfigurable DNA origami template, the plasmonic cross can be switched between a chiral locked state and an achiral relaxed state through toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions. This reconfigurable nanostructure can also be modified in response to light stimuli, leading to a noninvasive, waste-free, and all-optically controlled system. Taking one step further, we show that selective manipulations of individual structural species coexisting in one ensemble can be achieved using pH tuning of reconfigurable plasmonic nanostructures in a programmable manner. Finally, we describe an alternative to achieving dynamic plasmonic systems by driving AuNPs directly on origami. Such plasmonic walkers, inspired by the biological molecular motors in living cells, can generate dynamic CD responses when carrying out directional, progressive, and reverse nanoscale walking on DNA origami. We envision that the combination of DNA nanotechnology and plasmonics will open an avenue toward a new generation of functional plasmonic systems with tailored optical properties and useful applications, including polarization conversion devices, biomolecular sensing, surface-enhanced Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy, and diffraction-limited optics.

Abstract
Tuning localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is crucial for practical applications of two-dimensional Ag nanoplates (AgNPs) and relies on the precise control of their lateral length or/and thickness. In the present seed-mediated synthetic method, by taking advantage of underpotential deposition (UPD) of Cu on the (111) surfaces of AgNPs, a solely lateral growth of AgNPs was achieved when Cu(NO3 )2 was employed, while a vertical growth of AgNPs could be attained by introducing CuCl2 into our growth solutions. The lateral length and the vertical thickness of the AgNPs could be tuned in the ranges of 115 to nearly 300 nm and 13.4 to around 200 nm, respectively. Along with control of the dimensional size of AgNPs, LSPR could also be tuned in the visible to near infrared range. Plausible growth mechanisms for the precise control of the lateral and vertical growth of AgNPs were proposed.
