Abstract
The combination of low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy with a mass-selective electro-spray ion-beam deposition established the investigation of large biomolecules at nanometer and sub-nanometer scale. Due to complex architecture and conformational freedom, however, the chemical identification of building blocks of these biopolymers often relies on the presence of markers, extensive simulations, or is not possible at all. Here, we present a molecular probe-sensitisation approach addressing the identification of a specific amino acid within different peptides. A selective intermolecular interaction between the sensitiser attached at the tip-apex and the target amino acid on the surface induces an enhanced tunnelling conductance of one specific spectral feature, which can be mapped in spectroscopic imaging. Density functional theory calculations suggest a mechanism that relies on conformational changes of the sensitiser that are accompanied by local charge redistributions in the tunnelling junction, which, in turn, lower the tunnelling barrier at that specific part of the peptide.

Abstract
Sequence-encoded biomolecules such as DNA and peptides are powerful programmable building blocks for nanomaterials. This paradigm is enabled by decades of prior research into how nucleic acid and amino acid sequences dictate biomolecular interactions. The properties of biomolecular materials can be significantly expanded with non-natural interactions, including metal ion coordination of nucleic acids and amino acids. However, these approaches present design challenges because it is often not well-understood how biomolecular sequence dictates such non-natural interactions. This Feature Article presents a case study in overcoming challenges in biomolecular materials with emerging approaches in data mining and machine learning for chemical design. We review progress in this area for a specific class of DNA-templated metal nanomaterials with complex sequence-to-property relationships: DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (AgN-DNAs) with bright, sequence-tuned fluorescence colors and promise for biophotonics applications. A brief overview of machine learning concepts is presented, and high-throughput experimental synthesis and characterization of AgN-DNAs are discussed. Then, recent progress in machine learning-guided design of DNA sequences that select for specific AgN-DNA fluorescence properties is reviewed. We conclude with emerging opportunities in machine learning-guided design and discovery of AgN-DNAs and other sequence-encoded biomolecular nanomaterials.

Abstract
DNA double helices containing metal-mediated DNA (mmDNA) base pairs are constructed from Ag+ and Hg2+ ions between pyrimidine:pyrimidine pairs with the promise of nanoelectronics. Rational design of mmDNA nanomaterials is impractical without a complete lexical and structural description. Here, the programmability of structural DNA nanotechnology toward its founding mission of self-assembling a diffraction platform for biomolecular structure determination is explored. The tensegrity triangle is employed to build a comprehensive structural library of mmDNA pairs via X-ray diffraction and generalized design rules for mmDNA construction are elucidated. Two binding modes are uncovered: N3-dominant, centrosymmetric pairs and major groove binders driven by 5-position ring modifications. Energy gap calculations show additional levels in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) of mmDNA structures, rendering them attractive molecular electronic candidates.

Abstract
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is a technique that can be used to directly observe individual biomolecules at near-molecular scale. Within this framework, STM is of crucial significance because of its role in the structural analysis, the understanding the imaging formation, and the development of relative techniques. Four decades after its invention, it is pertinent to ask how much of the early dream has come true. In this study, we aim to overview different analyses for DNA, lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. The relevance of STM imaging is exhibited as an opportunity to assist measurements and biomolecular identification in nanobiotechnology, nanomedicine, biosensing, and other cutting-edge applications. We believe STM research is still an entire science research ecosystem for joining several areas of expertise towards a goal settlement that has been elusive for many years.

Abstract
Integrating dissimilar materials at the nanoscale is crucial for modern electronics and optoelectronics. The structural DNA nanotechnology provides a universal platform for precision assembly of materials; nevertheless, heterogeneous integration of dissimilar materials with DNA nanostructures has yet to be explored. Here we report a DNA origami-encoded strategy for integrating silica-metal heterostructures. Theoretical and experimental studies reveal distinctive mechanisms for the binding and aggregation of silica and metal clusters on protruding double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) strands that are prescribed on the DNA origami template. In particular, the binding energy differences of silica/metal clusters and DNA molecules underlies the accessibilities of dissimilar material areas on DNA origami. We find that, by programming the densities and lengths of protruding dsDNA strands on DNA origami, silica and metal materials can be independently deposited at their predefined areas with a high vertical precision of 2 nm. We demonstrate the integration of silica-gold and silica-silver heterostructures with high site addressability. This DNA nanotechnology-based strategy is thus applicable for integrating various types of dissimilar materials, which opens new routes for bottom-up electronics.

Abstract
Throughout the past few decades, guanine quadruplex DNA structures have attracted much interest both from a fundamental material science perspective and from a technologically oriented perspective. Novel guanine octuplex DNA, formed from coiled quadruplex DNA, was recently discovered as a stable and rigid DNA-based nanostructure. A detailed electronic structure study of this new nanomaterial, performed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy on a subsingle-molecule level at cryogenic temperature, is presented herein. The electronic levels and lower energy gap of guanine octuplex DNA compared to quadruplex DNA dictate higher transverse conductivity through guanine octads than through guanine tetrads.

Abstract
DNA origami has been widely used as a modular platform for condensation of functional molecules to assemble optical, electronic, and biological components. However, the heterogeneous condensation with greater diversities in chemical composition templated with DNA origami is still challenging. Herein, a programmable deposition method is developed to precisely condense silver-silica nanohybrids on DNA origami templates. First, the site-specific metallization of Ag is achieved by thiol group-initiated silver reduction at the designed areas of DNA origami. Next, cysteamine is used to selectively modify the condensed Ag surface with positively charged amino groups for creating an electronically different environment for site-specific placement of silica by a modified Stöber method. Using these strategies, customized patterning of both silver and silica on tubular and rectangular DNA origami nanostructures is successfully achieved with nanoscale spatial resolution. These findings will greatly facilitate the development of DNA nanotechnology-based bottom-up nanofabrication.

Abstract
Guanine quadruplex (G4)-DNA structures have sparked the interest of many scientists due to their important biological roles and their potential use in molecular nanoelectronics and nanotechnology. The high guanine content in G4-DNA endows it with mechanical stability, robustness, and improved charge transport properties-attractive attributes for a molecular nanowire. The self-driven formation of a novel G4-DNA-based nanostructure, coined guanine octuplex (G8)-DNA, is reported herein. Atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy characterization of this molecule reveal its organized coiled-coil structure, which is found to be stable under different temperatures and surrounding conditions. G8-DNA exhibits enhanced stiffness, mechanical and thermodynamic stability when compared to its parent G4-DNA. These, along with its high guanine content, make G8-DNA a compelling new molecule, and a highly prospective candidate for molecular nanoelectronics.

Abstract
The bottom-up DNA-templated nanoelectronics exploits the unparalleled self-assembly properties of DNA molecules and their amenability with various types of nanomaterials. In principle, nanoelectronic devices can be bottom-up assembled with near-atomic precision, which compares favorably with well-established top-down fabrication process with nanometer precision. Over the past decade, intensive effort has been made to develop DNA-based nanoassemblies including DNA-metal, DNA-polymer, and DNA-carbon nanotube complexes. This review introduces the history of DNA-based fabrication for nanoelectronics briefly and summarizes the state-of-art advances of DNA-based nanoelectronics. In particular, the most widely applied characterization techniques to explore their unique electronic properties at the nanoscale are described and discussed, including scanning tunneling microscopy, conductive atomic force microscopy, and Kelvin probe force microscopy. We also provide a perspective on potential applications of DNA-based nanoelectronics.

Abstract
Metal-mediated base-paired DNA has long been investigated for basic scientific pursuit and for nanoelectronics purposes. Particularly attractive in these domains is the Ag+-intercalated polycytosine DNA duplex. Extensive studies of this molecule have led to our current understanding of its self-assembly properties, high thermodynamic and structural stability, and high longitudinal conductivity. However, a high-resolution morphological characterization of long Ag+-intercalated polycytosine DNA has hitherto not been carried out. Furthermore, the electronic level structure of this molecule has not been studied before. Here we present a scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy study of this intriguing nanowire. Its temperature-independent morphological and electronic properties suggest substantial stability, while its emergent electronic levels and energy gap provide the basis for its high conductivity.

Abstract
Electronic textiles may revolutionize many fields, such as communication, health care and artificial intelligence. To date, unfortunately, computing with them is not yet possible. Memristors are compatible with the interwoven structure and manufacturing process in textiles because of its two-terminal crossbar configuration. However, it remains a challenge to realize textile memristors owing to the difficulties in designing advanced memristive materials and achieving high-quality active layers on fiber electrodes. Herein we report a robust textile memristor based on an electrophoretic-deposited active layer of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) on fiber electrodes. The unique architecture and orientation of DNA molecules with the incorporation of Ag nanoparticles offer the best-in-class performances, e.g., both ultra-low operation voltage of 0.3 V and power consumption of 100 pW and high switching speed of 20 ns. Fundamental logic calculations such as implication and NAND are demonstrated as functions of textile chips, and it has been thus integrated with power-supplying and light emitting modules to demonstrate an all-fabric information processing system.

Abstract
Understanding the effect of external conditions, temperature in particular, on novel nanomaterials is of great significance. The powerful ability of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to characterize topography and electronic levels on a single molecule scale is utilized herein to characterize individual silver-containing poly(dG)-poly(dC) DNA molecules, at different temperatures. These measurements indicate that the molecule is a truly hybrid metal-organic nanomaterial with electronic states originating from both the DNA and the embedded silver. The temperature dependence of this density of states (DOS) leads to the temperature dependent STM apparent height of the molecule-a phenomenon that has not been observed before for other complex nanostructures.
