Programmable 'Legos' of DNA and protein building blocks create novel 3D cages

Like  Save

The central goal of nanotechnology is the manipulation of materials on an atomic or molecular scale, especially to build microscopic devices or structures. Three-dimensional cages are one of the most important targets, both for their simplicity and their application as drug carriers for medicine. DNA nanotechnology uses DNA molecules as programmable ''Legos'' to assemble structures with a control not possible with other molecules.
