Abstract
Nanoparticle assemblies with interparticle ohmic contacts are crucial for nanodevice fabrication. Despite tremendous progress in DNA-programmable nanoparticle assemblies, seamlessly welding discrete components into welded continuous three-dimensional (3D) configurations remains challenging. Here, we introduce a single-stranded DNA-encoded strategy to customize welded metal nanostructures with tunable morphologies and plasmonic properties. We demonstrate the precise welding of gold nanoparticle assemblies into continuous metal nanostructures with interparticle ohmic contacts through chemical welding in solution. We find that the welded gold nanoparticle assemblies show a consistent morphology with welded efficiency over 90%, such as the rod-like, triangular, and tetrahedral metal nanostructures. Next, we show the versatility of this strategy by welding gold nanoparticle assemblies of varied sizes and shapes. Furthermore, the experiment and simulation show that the welded gold nanoparticle assemblies exhibit defined plasmonic coupling. This single-stranded DNA encoded welding system may provide a new route for accurately building functional plasmonic nanomaterials and devices.

Abstract
Nucleic acid-based materials showcase an increasing potential for antimicrobial drug delivery. Although numerous reports on drug-loaded DNA nanoparticles outline their pivotal antibacterial activities, their potential as drug delivery systems against bacterial biofilms awaits further studies. Among different oligonucleotide structures, micellar nanocarriers derived from amphiphilic DNA strands are of particular interest due to their spontaneous self-assembly and high biocompatibility. However, their clinical use is hampered by structural instability upon cation depletion. In this work, we used a cationic amphiphilic antibiotic (polymyxin B) to stabilize DNA micelles destined to penetrate P. aeruginosa biofilms and exhibit antibacterial/antibiofilm properties. Our study highlights how the strong affinity of this antibiotic enhances the stability of the micelles and confirms that antibacterial activity of the novel micelles remains intact. Additionally, we show that PMB micelles can penetrate P. aeruginosa biofilms and impact their metabolic activity. Finally, PMB micelles were highly safe and biocompatible, highlighting their possible application against P. aeruginosa biofilm-colonized skin wounds.

Abstract
A DNA-silver cluster conjugate is a hierarchical chromophore with a partly reduced silver core embedded within the DNA nucleobases that are covalently linked by the phosphodiester backbone. Specific sites within a polymeric DNA can be targeted to spectrally tune the silver cluster. Here, the repeated (C2A)6 strand is interrupted with a thymine, and the resulting (C2A)2-T-(C2A)4 forms only Ag106+, a chromophore with both prompt (∼1 ns) green and sustained (∼102 μs) red luminescence. Thymine is an inert placeholder that can be removed, and the two fragments (C2A)2 and (C2A)4 also produce the same Ag106+ adduct. In relation to (C2A)2T(C2A)4, the (C2A)2 + (C2A)4 pair is distinguished because the red Ag106+ luminescence is ∼6× lower, relaxes ∼30% faster, and is quenched ∼2× faster with O2. These differences suggest that a specific break in the phosphodiester backbone can regulate how a contiguous vs broken scaffold wraps and better protects its cluster adduct.

Abstract
Functional DNA origami nanoparticles (DNA-NPs) are used as nanocarriers in a variety of biomedical applications including targeted drug delivery and vaccine development. DNA-NPs can be designed into a broad range of nanoarchitectures in one, two, and three dimensions with high structural fidelity. Moreover, the addressability of the DNA-NPs enables the precise organization of functional moieties, which improves targeting, actuation, and stability. DNA-NPs are usually functionalized via chemically modified staple strands, which can be further conjugated with additional polymers and proteins for the intended application. Although this method of functionalization is extremely efficient to control the stoichiometry and organization of functional moieties, fewer than half of the permissible sites are accessible through staple modifications. In addition, DNA-NP functionalization rapidly becomes expensive when a high number of functionalizations such as fluorophores for tracking and chemical modifications for stability that do not require spatially precise organization are used. To facilitate the synthesis of functional DNA-NPs, we propose a simple and robust strategy based on an asymmetric polymerase chain reaction (aPCR) protocol that allows direct synthesis of custom-length scaffolds that can be randomly modified and/or precisely modified via sequence design. We demonstrated the potential of our strategy by producing and characterizing heavily modified scaffold strands with amine groups for dye functionalization, phosphorothioate bonds for stability, and biotin for surface immobilization. We further validated our sequence design approach for precise conjugation of biomolecules by synthetizing scaffolds including binding loops and aptamer sequences that can be used for direct hybridization of nucleic acid tagged biomolecules or binding of protein targets.

Abstract
Creation of architectures with exquisite hierarchies actuates the germination of revolutionized functions and applications across a wide range of fields. Hierarchical self-assembly of colloidal particles holds the promise for materialized realization of structural programing and customizing. This review outlines the general approaches to organize atom-like micro- and nanoparticles into prescribed colloidal analogs of molecules by exploiting diverse interparticle driving motifs involving confining templates, interactive surface ligands, and flexible shape/surface anisotropy. Furthermore, the self-regulated/adaptive co-assembly of simple unvarnished building blocks is discussed to inspire new designs of colloidal assembly strategies.

Abstract
To address the current challenges in making bright, stable, and small DNA-functionalized quantum dots (QDs), we have developed a one-step ligand-exchange method to produce QD-DNA conjugates from commonly available hydrophobic QDs. We show that by systematically adjusting the reaction conditions such as ligand-to-nanoparticle molar ratio, pH, and solvent composition, stable and highly photoluminescent water-soluble QD-DNA conjugates with relatively high ligand loadings can be produced. Moreover, by site specifically binding these QD-DNA conjugates to a DNA origami template, we demonstrate that these bioconjugates have sufficient colloidal stability for DNA-directed self-assembly. Fluorescence quenching by an adjacent gold nanoparticle (AuNP) was demonstrated. Such QD-AuNP dimers may serve as biosensors with improved sensitivity and reproducibility. Moreover, our simple method can facilitate the assembly of QDs into more complex superlattices and discrete clusters that may enable novel photophysical properties.

Abstract
Self-assembly of DNA-labeled nanoparticles is an effective strategy to fabricate new nanocomposite materials and nanoscale devices from the bottom-up. To tailor the properties of the resulting material or device, one requires access to a wide range of nanoparticle sizes and shapes, as well as control over the number (valency) of DNA molecules on the nanoparticle surface. Currently, nanoparticles with a defined DNA valency can only be obtained in a narrow range of sizes, and in small quantities, limiting the properties of the resulting composite structures and their applications. Here, we leverage the digital information encoded in the number and sequence of short DNA barcodes to generate preparatory amounts of nanoparticles bearing a specific number of DNA molecules, irrespective of the identity of the nanocomponent. We show that this DNA valency sorting chromatography, which is driven by the selective affinity of Watson-Crick base pairs, is applicable to arbitrary DNA sequences and a broad range of nanoparticle sizes, shapes, and material compositions. To further demonstrate this fact, we use valency-sorted large gold nanospheres directly in self-assembly schemes to create, in one synthesis step, large amounts of several previously inaccessible molecule-like dimer and trimer nanostructures with unique optical properties. We anticipate that the expanded scope of DNA valency-defined nanoparticle reagents, and the increased scale at which they can be produced, will open new avenues for the molecularly precise manipulation of nanoscale matter.

Abstract
Integrating nanoscale building blocks of low dimensionality (0D; i.e., spheres) into higher dimensional structures endows them and their corresponding materials with emergent properties non-existent or only weakly existent in the individual building blocks. Constructing 1D chains, 2D arrays and 3D superlattices using nanoparticles and colloids therefore continues to be one of the grand goals in colloid and nanomaterial science. Amongst these higher order structures, 1D colloidal chains are of particular interest, as they possess unique anisotropic properties. In recent years, the most relevant advances in 1D colloidal chain research have been made in novel synthetic methodologies and applications. In this review, we first address a comprehensive description of the research progress concerning various synthetic strategies developed to construct 1D colloidal chains. Following this, we highlight the amplified and emergent properties of the resulting materials, originating from the assembly of the individual building blocks and their collective behavior, and discuss relevant applications in advanced materials. In the discussion of synthetic strategies, properties, and applications, particular attention will be paid to overarching concepts, fresh trends, and potential areas of future research. We believe that this comprehensive review will be a driver to guide the interdisciplinary field of 1D colloidal chains, where nanomaterial synthesis, self-assembly, physical property studies, and material applications meet, to a higher level, and open up new research opportunities at the interface of classical disciplines.

Abstract
Controlled transport of biomolecules across lipid bilayer membranes is of profound significance in biological processes. In cells, cargo exchange is mediated by dedicated channels that respond to triggers, undergo a nanomechanical change to reversibly open, and thus regulate cargo flux. Replicating these processes with simple yet programmable chemical means is of fundamental scientific interest. Artificial systems that go beyond nature's remit in transport control and cargo are also of considerable interest for biotechnological applications but challenging to build. Here, we describe a synthetic channel that allows precisely timed, stimulus-controlled transport of folded and functional proteins across bilayer membranes. The channel is made via DNA nanotechnology design principles and features a 416 nm2 opening cross-section and a nanomechanical lid which can be controllably closed and re-opened via a lock-and-key mechanism. We envision that the functional DNA device may be used in highly sensitive biosensing, drug delivery of proteins, and the creation of artificial cell networks.

Abstract
The abundance of hotspots tuned via precise arrangement of coupled plasmonic nanostructures highly boost the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal enhancements, expanding their potential applicability to a diverse range of applications. Herein, nanoscale assembly of Ag coated Au nanostars in dimer and trimer configurations with tunable nanogap was achieved using programmable DNA origami technique. The resulting assemblies were then utilized for SERS-based ultra-sensitive detection of an important neurotransmitter, dopamine. The trimer assemblies were able to detect dopamine with picomolar sensitivity, and the assembled dimer structures achieved SERS sensitivity as low as 1 fM with a limit of detection of 0.225 fM. Overall, such coupled nanoarchitectures with superior plasmon tunability are promising to explore new avenues in biomedical diagnostic applications.

[PMID: 34443885 PMCID: PMC8399172 DOI: 10.3390/nano11082055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Revised: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
This work describes a novel, one-shot strategy to fabricate ultrasensitive SERS sensors based on silver/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites. Upon spin coating of a dispersion of PMMA and silver precursor on N-doped silicon substrate, closely separated silver nanoparticles were self-assembled into uniform nanospheres. As a result, a thin hydrophobic PMMA layer embedded with Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) was obtained on the whole silicon substrate. Consequently, a large-scale, reproducible SERS platform was produced through a rapid, simple, low-cost, and high-throughput technology. In addition, reproducible SERS features and high SERS enhancement factors were determined (SEF ~1015). This finding matches the highest SEF reported in literature to date (1014) for silver aggregates. The potential and novelty of this synthesis is that no reducing agent or copolymer was used, nor was any preliminary functionalization of the surface carried out. In addition, the AgNPs were fabricated directly on the substrate’s surface; consequently, there was no need for polymer etching. Then, the synthetic method was successfully applied to prepare opaque SERS platforms. Opaque surfaces are needed in photonic devices because of the absence of secondary back reflection, which makes optical analysis and applications easier.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, DNA nanotechnology engenders a vast variety of programmable nanostructures utilizing Watson-Crick base pairing. Due to their precise engineering, unprecedented programmability, and intrinsic biocompatibility, DNA nanostructures cannot only interact with small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, viruses, and cancer cells, but also can serve as nanocarriers to deliver different therapeutic agents. Such addressability innate to DNA nanostructures enables their use in various fields of biomedical applications such as biosensors and cancer therapy. This review is begun with a brief introduction of the development of DNA nanotechnology, followed by a summary of recent applications of DNA nanostructures in biosensors and therapeutics.

Abstract
Large-scale nanoarrays of single biomolecules enable high-throughput assays while unmasking the underlying heterogeneity within ensemble populations. Until recently, creating such grids which combine the advantages of microarrays and single-molecule experiments (SMEs) has been particularly challenging due to the mismatch between the size of these molecules and the resolution of top-down fabrication techniques. DNA origami placement (DOP) combines two powerful techniques to address this issue: (i) DNA origami, which provides a ∼100 nm self-assembled template for single-molecule organization with 5 nm resolution and (ii) top-down lithography, which patterns these DNA nanostructures, transforming them into functional nanodevices via large-scale integration with arbitrary substrates. Presently, this technique relies on state-of-the-art infrastructure and highly trained personnel, making it prohibitively expensive for researchers. Here, we introduce a cleanroom-free, $1 benchtop technique to create meso-to-macro-scale DNA origami nanoarrays using self-assembled colloidal nanoparticles, thereby circumventing the need for top-down fabrication. We report a maximum yield of 74%, 2-fold higher than the statistical limit of 37% imposed on non-specific molecular loading alternatives. Furthermore, we provide a proof-of-principle for the ability of this nanoarray platform to transform traditionally low-throughput, stochastic, single-molecule assays into high-throughput, deterministic ones, without compromising data quality. Our approach has the potential to democratize single-molecule nanoarrays and demonstrates their utility as a tool for biophysical assays and diagnostics.

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
Bottom-up fabrication using DNA is a promising approach for the creation of nanoarchitectures. Accordingly, nanomaterials with specific electronic, photonic, or other functions are precisely and programmably positioned on DNA nanostructures from a disordered collection of smaller parts. These self-assembled structures offer significant potential in many domains such as sensing, drug delivery, and electronic device manufacturing. This review describes recent progress in organizing nanoscale morphologies of metals, semiconductors, and carbon nanotubes using DNA templates. We describe common substrates, DNA templates, seeding, plating, nanomaterial placement, and methods for structural and electrical characterization. Finally, our outlook for DNA-enabled bottom-up nanofabrication of materials is presented.

Abstract
Chiral molecules are ubiquitous in nature; many important synthetic chemicals and drugs are chiral. Detecting chiral molecules and separating the enantiomers is difficult because their physiochemical properties can be very similar. Here we review the optical approaches that are emerging for detecting and manipulating chiral molecules and chiral nanostructures. Our review focuses on the methods that have used plasmonics to enhance the chiroptical response. We also review the fabrication and assembly of (dynamic) chiral plasmonic nanosystems in this context.

Abstract
Due to the proposal and evolution of the DNA origami technique over the past decade, DNA molecules have been utilized as building blocks for the precise construction of nanoscale architectures. Benefiting from the superior programmability of DNA molecules, the sequence-dependent recognition mechanism and robust complementation among DNA strands make it possible to customize almost arbitrary structures. Such an assembly strategy bypasses some of the limits of conventional fabrication methods; the fabrication accuracy and complexity of the target product are unprecedentedly promoted as well. Furthermore, due to the spatial addressability of the final products, nanostructures assembled through the DNA origami technique can also serve as a versatile platform for the spatial positioning of functional elements, represented by colloidal nanoparticles (NPs). The subsequent fabrication of heterogeneous functional nanoarchitectures is realized via modifying colloidal NPs with DNA strands and manipulating them to anchor into DNA origami templates. This has given rise to investigations of their novel properties in nanophotonics and therapeutic effects towards some diseases. In this review, we survey the crucial progress in the development of DNA origami design, assembly and structural analysis and summarize available applications in nanophotonics and cancer therapy based on the object-dressed DNA origami complex. Moreover, we elucidate the development of this field and discuss the potential directions of this kind of application-oriented nanomanufacturing.

Abstract
In the last two decades, DNA has attracted significant attention toward the development of materials at the nanoscale for emerging applications due to the unparalleled versatility and programmability of DNA building blocks. DNA-based artificial nanomaterials can be broadly classified into two categories: DNA nanostructures (DNA-NSs) and DNA-functionalized nanoparticles (DNA-NPs). More importantly, their use in nanotheranostics, a field that combines diagnostics with therapy via drug or gene delivery in an all-in-one platform, has been applied extensively in recent years to provide personalized cancer treatments. Conveniently, the ease of attachment of both imaging and therapeutic moieties to DNA-NSs or DNA-NPs enables high biostability, biocompatibility, and drug loading capabilities, and as a consequence, has markedly catalyzed the rapid growth of this field. This review aims to provide an overview of the recent progress of DNA-NSs and DNA-NPs as theranostic agents, the use of DNA-NSs and DNA-NPs as gene and drug delivery platforms, and a perspective on their clinical translation in the realm of oncology.

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
SERS activity can be increased by the formation of hot spots at the interparticle junctions of plasmonic nanoparticles in very close proximity, dramatically improving the enhancement factors in comparison with isolated nanoparticles. Controlling the number and geometrical architecture of hot spots, while endowing the clusters with colloidal stability, results in feasible optical sensors, able to provide quantitative SERS responses. Here, we review the approaches proposed to date to produce colloidal stable clusters, focusing on the control of the coordination number of nanoparticle assemblies and interparticle gaps. Clusters of spherical nanoparticles of the same size and rods of the same size are described to subsequently outline core-satellite constructs of nanoparticles of different sizes. Besides, purification processes for nanoparticle clusters are revised to provide efficient production in high yields.

Abstract
Conventional antibiotic therapy is often challenged by poor drug penetration/accumulation at infection sites and poses a significant burden to public health. Effective strategies to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of our existing arsenal include the use of nanoparticulate delivery platforms to improve drug targeting and minimize adverse effects. However, these nanocarriers are often challenged by poor loading efficiency, rapid release and inefficient targeting. Nucleic acid hybrid nanocarriers are nucleic acid nanosystems complexed or functionalized with organic or inorganic materials. Despite their immense potential in antimicrobial therapy, they are seldom utilized against pathogenic bacteria. With the emergence of antimicrobial resistance and the associated complex interplay of factors involved in antibiotic resistance, nucleic acid hybrids represent a unique opportunity to deliver antimicrobials against resistant pathogens and to target specific genes that control virulence or resistance. This review provides an unbiased overview on fabricating strategies for nucleic acid hybrids and addresses the challenges of pristine oligonucleotide nanocarriers. We report recent applications to enhance pathogen targeting, binding and control drug release. As multifunctional next-generational antimicrobials, the challenges and prospect of these nanocarriers are included.

Abstract
The spatial organization of metal nanoparticles has become an important tool for manipulating light in nanophotonic applications. Silver nanoparticles, particularly silver nanorods, have excellent plasmonic properties but are prone to oxidation and are therefore inherently unstable in aqueous solutions and salt-containing buffers. Consequently, gold nanoparticles have often been favored, despite their inferior optical performance. Bimetallic, i.e., gold-silver core-shell nanoparticles, can resolve this issue. We present a method for synthesizing highly stable gold-silver core-shell NRs that are instantaneously functionalized with DNA, enabling chiral self-assembly on DNA origami. The silver shell gives rise to an enhancement of plasmonic properties, reflected here in strongly increased circular dichroism, as compared to pristine gold nanorods. Gold-silver nanorods are ideal candidates for plasmonic sensing with increased sensitivity as needed in pathogen RNA or antibody testing for nonlinear optics and light-funneling applications in surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Furthermore, the control of interparticle orientation enables the study of plasmonic phenomena, in particular, synergistic effects arising from plasmonic coupling of such bimetallic systems.

Abstract
DNA origami allows for the synthesis of nanoscale structures and machines with nanometre precision and high yields. Tubular DNA origami nanostructures are particularly useful because their geometry facilitates a variety of applications including nanoparticle encapsulation, the construction of artificial membrane pores and as structural scaffolds that can uniquely spatially arrange nanoparticles in circular, linear and helical arrays. Here we report a system of parametrization for the design of radially symmetric DNA origami nanotubes with adjustable diameter, length, crossover density, pleat angle and chirality. The system is implemented into a computational algorithm that provides a practical means to navigate the complex geometry of DNA origami nanotube design. We apply this in the design, synthesis and characterization of novel DNA origami nanotubes. These include structures with pleated walls where the same number of duplexes can form nanotubes with different diameters, and to vary the diameter within the same structure. We also construct nanotubes that can be reconfigured into different chiral shapes. Finally, we explore the effect of strain on the local and global geometry of DNA origami nanotubes and demonstrate how pleated walls can provide a strategy to rigidify nanotubes and to construct closely packed parallel duplexes.

Abstract
Fluorescent copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) have been widely used in chemical sensors, biological imaging, and light-emitting devices. However, individual fluorescent CuNCs have limitations in their capabilities arising from poor photostability and weak emission intensities. As one kind of aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen), the formation of aggregates with high compactness and good order can efficiently improve the emission intensity, stability, and tunability of CuNCs. Here, DNA nanoribbons, containing multiple specific binding sites, serve as a template for in situ synthesis and assembly of ultrasmall CuNCs (0.6 nm). These CuNC self-assemblies exhibit enhanced luminescence and excellent fluorescence stability because of tight and ordered arrangement through DNA nanoribbons templating. Furthermore, the stable and bright CuNC assemblies are demonstrated in the high-sensitivity detection and intracellular fluorescence imaging of biothiols.

Abstract
We contrive two strategies to assemble well-defined nanoclusters with high-throughput guided by DNA origami frames either by (1) introducing a micro-sized surface to fabricate patchy particles for binding with DNA structures or (2) restricting the assembly process of free nanoparticles and DNA origami frames on the fixed sites. Both the strategies can omit the process of gel purification of the final products.

Abstract
There has been growing interest in using strong field enhancement and light localization in plasmonic nanostructures to control the polarization properties of light. Various experimental techniques are now used to fabricate twisted metallic nanoparticles and metasurfaces, where strongly enhanced chiral near-fields are used to intensify circular dichroism (CD) signals. In this review, state-of-the-art strategies to develop such chiral plasmonic nanoparticles and metasurfaces are summarized, with emphasis on the most recent trends for the design and development of functionalizable surfaces. The major objective is to perform enantiomer selection which is relevant in pharmaceutical applications and for biosensing. Enhanced sensing capabilities are key for the design and manufacture of lab-on-a-chip devices, commonly named point-of-care biosensing devices, which are promising for next-generation healthcare systems.

Abstract
Development of nanotechnology has become prominent in many fields, such as medicine, electronics, production of materials, and modern drugs. Nanomaterials and nanoparticles have gained recognition owing to the unique biochemical and physical properties. Considering cellular application, it is speculated that nanoparticles can transfer through cell membranes following different routes exclusively owing to their size (up to 100 nm) and surface functionalities. Nanoparticles have capacity to enter cells by themselves but also to carry other molecules through the lipid bilayer. This quality has been utilized in cellular delivery of substances like small chemical drugs or nucleic acids. Different nanoparticles including lipids, silica, and metal nanoparticles have been exploited in conjugation with nucleic acids. However, the noble metal nanoparticles create an alternative, out of which gold nanoparticles (AuNP) are the most common. The hybrids of DNA or RNA and metal nanoparticles can be employed for functional assemblies for variety of applications in medicine, diagnostics or nano-electronics by means of biomarkers, specific imaging probes, or gene expression regulatory function. In this review, we focus on the conjugates of gold nanoparticles and nucleic acids in the view of their potential application for cellular delivery and biomedicine. This review covers the current advances in the nanotechnology of DNA and RNA-AuNP conjugates and their potential applications. We emphasize the crucial role of metal nanoparticles in the nanotechnology of nucleic acids and explore the role of such conjugates in the biological systems. Finally, mechanisms guiding the process of cellular intake, essential for delivery of modern therapeutics, will be discussed.

Abstract
Efficient fabrication of structurally and functionally diverse nanomolecular devices and machines by organizing separately prepared DNA origami building blocks into a larger structure is limited by origami attachment yields. A general method that enables attachment of origami building blocks using 'sticky ends' at very high yields is demonstrated. Two different rectangular origami monomers are purified using agarose gel electrophoresis conducted in solute containing 100 × 10-3 m NaCl, a treatment that facilitates the dissociation of most of the incorrectly hybridized origami structures that form through blunt-end interactions during the thermal annealing process and removes these structures as well as excess strands that otherwise interfere with the desired heterodimerization reaction. Heterodimerization yields of gel-purified monomers are between 98.6% and 99.6%, considerably higher than that of monomers purified using the polyethylene glycol (PEG) method (88.7-96.7%). Depending on the number of PEG purification rounds, these results correspond to about 4- to 25-fold reduction in the number of incorrect structures observed by atomic force microscopy. Furthermore, the analyses of the incorrect structures observed before and after the heterodimerization reactions and comparison of the purification methods provide valuable information on the reaction mechanisms that interfere with heterodimerization.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology has revolutionised the capabilities to shape and control three-dimensional structures at the nanometre scale. Designer sensors, nanopores and ion-channels built from DNA have great potential for both cross-disciplinary research and applications. Here, we introduce the concept of structural DNA nanotechnology, including DNA origami, and give an overview of the work flow from design to assembly, characterisation and application of DNA-based functional systems. Chemical functionalisation of DNA has opened up pathways to transform static DNA structures into dynamic nanomechanical sensors. We further introduce nanopore sensing as a powerful label-free single-molecule technique and discuss how it can benefit from DNA nanotechnology. Especially exciting is the possibility to create membrane-inserted DNA nanochannels that mimic their protein-based natural counterparts in form and function. In this chapter we review the status quo of DNA sensors, nanopores and ion channels, highlighting opportunities and challenges for their future development.

Abstract
In the past 35 years, DNA nanotechnology has grown to a highly innovative and vibrant field of research at the interface of chemistry, materials science, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. Herein, a short summary of the state of research in various subdisciplines of DNA nanotechnology, ranging from pure "structural DNA nanotechnology" over protein-DNA assemblies, nanoparticle-based DNA materials, and DNA polymers to DNA surface technology is given. The survey shows that these subdisciplines are growing ever closer together and suggests that this integration is essential in order to initiate the next phase of development. With the increasing implementation of machine-based approaches in microfluidics, robotics, and data-driven science, DNA-material systems will emerge that could be suitable for applications in sensor technology, photonics, as interfaces between technical systems and living organisms, or for biomimetic fabrication processes.

Abstract
Metal nanoarchitectures fabrication based on DNA assembly has attracted a good deal of attention. DNA nanotechnology enables precise organization of nanoscale objects with extraordinary structural programmability. The spatial addressability of DNA nanostructures and sequence-dependent recognition allow functional elements to be precisely positioned; thus, novel functional materials that are difficult to produce using conventional methods could be fabricated. This review focuses on the recent development of the fabrication strategies toward manipulating the shape and morphology of metal nanoparticles and nanoassemblies based on the rational design of DNA structures. DNA-mediated metallization, including DNA-templated conductive nanowire fabrication and sequence-selective metal deposition, etc., is briefly introduced. The modifications of metal nanoparticles (NPs) with DNA and subsequent construction of heterogeneous metal nanoarchitectures are highlighted. Importantly, DNA-assembled dynamic metal nanostructures that are responsive to different stimuli are also discussed as they allow the design of smart and dynamic materials. Meanwhile, the prospects and challenges of these shape-and morphology-controlled strategies are summarized.

Abstract
In this work, a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) polymer (PNIPAAm) was prepared via the photoinduced reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using Ru(bpy)3Cl2·6H2O as photoinitiator. The design and spontaneous assembly of thiol-functionalized DNA-Thiol/PNIPAAm polymeric capsule (DNAsomes) by water-in-oil Pickering emulsion method and effective response with small molecules (Sybr green and phenanthrene) were described. The intermediate product, DNA-Thiol/PNIPAAm conjugates and DNAsomes were characterized by using 1H NMR, dynamic light scattering (DLS), SEM, TEM and UV-vis methods. The obtained results indicated that DNA-Thiol/PNIPAAm constructs assembled in a Pickering emulsion could produce DNA-based spherical DNAsomes with typically 3.3-267.7 μm in diameter. The DNAsomes showed a vesicle formation approximately 2 μm in diameter, resulting in phenanthrene molecule intercalating with DNAsomes. The phenomenon indicated that the DNA-Thiol/PNIPAAm conjugates may have potential applications in recognition polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules. The membrane of the DNAsomes could effective response toward small molecules such as Sybr green or phenanthrene, and DNAsomes has release capability of protein (BSA) under reductive agent glutathione (GSH). Our results highlight the potential of integrating aspects of supramolecular and polymer chemistry into the design and construction of DNA-polymeric capsule, guest molecule encapsulation, control delivery of drugs, recognition organic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules and gene-directed capsule synthesis.

Abstract
Biomolecular self-assembly provides a facile way to synthesize functional nanomaterials. Due to the unique structure and functions of biomolecules, the created biological nanomaterials via biomolecular self-assembly have a wide range of applications, from materials science to biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, nanotechnology, and analytical science. In this review, we present recent advances in the synthesis of biological nanomaterials by controlling the biomolecular self-assembly from adjusting internal interactions and external stimulations. The self-assembly mechanisms of biomolecules (DNA, protein, peptide, virus, enzyme, metabolites, lipid, cholesterol, and others) related to various internal interactions, including hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, π⁻π stacking, DNA base pairing, and ligand⁻receptor binding, are discussed by analyzing some recent studies. In addition, some strategies for promoting biomolecular self-assembly via external stimulations, such as adjusting the solution conditions (pH, temperature, ionic strength), adding organics, nanoparticles, or enzymes, and applying external light stimulation to the self-assembly systems, are demonstrated. We hope that this overview will be helpful for readers to understand the self-assembly mechanisms and strategies of biomolecules and to design and develop new biological nanostructures or nanomaterials for desired applications.

Abstract
The predictable nature of DNA interactions enables the programmable assembly of highly advanced 2D and 3D DNA structures of nanoscale dimensions. The access to ever larger and more complex structures has been achieved through decades of work on developing structural design principles. Concurrently, an increased focus has emerged on the applications of DNA nanostructures. In its nature, DNA is chemically inert and nanostructures based on unmodified DNA mostly lack function. However, functionality can be obtained through chemical modification of DNA nanostructures and the opportunities are endless. In this review, we discuss methodology for chemical functionalization of DNA nanostructures and provide examples of how this is being used to create functional nanodevices and make DNA nanostructures more applicable. We aim to encourage researchers to adopt chemical modifications as part of their work in DNA nanotechnology and inspire chemists to address current challenges and opportunities within the field.
