This article examines the DNA-based self-assembly of nanostructures. It first reviews the development of DNA self-assembly and DNA-directed assembly, focusing on the main strategies and building blocks available in the modern molecular construction toolbox, including the design, construction, and analysis of nanostructures composed entirely of synthetic DNA, as well as origami nanostructures formed from a mixture of synthetic and biological DNA. In particular, it considers the stepwise covalent synthesis of DNA nanomaterials, unmediated assembly of DNA nanomaterials, hierarchical assembly, nucleated assembly, and algorithmic assembly. It then discusses DNA-directed assembly of heteromaterials such as proteins and peptides, gold nanoparticles, and multicomponent nanostructures. It also describes the use of complementary DNA cohesion as 'smart glue' for bringing together covalently linked functional groups, biomolecules, and nanomaterials. Finally, it evaluates the potential future of DNA-based self-assembly for nanoscale manufacturing for applications in medicine, electronics, photonics, and materials science.

A facile approach of ligand-directed assembly of trapezoidal {Ti5} building blocks was successfully established, which gave rise to interesting hybrid clusters including the first molecular assembly of porphyrin photosensitizer and titanium-oxo cluster.

AbstractAdvances in nanoscale directed assembly strategies have enabled researchers to analogize atomic assembly via chemical reactions and nanoparticle assembly, creating a new nanoscale “periodic table.” We are just beginning to realize the nanoparticle equivalents of molecules and extended materials and are currently developing the ground rules for creating programmable nanometer-scale coordination environments. The ability to create a diverse set of nanoscale architectures from one class of nanoparticle building blocks would allow for the synthesis of designer materials, wherein the physical properties of a material could be predicted and controlled a priori. Our group has taken the first steps toward this goal and developed a means of creating tailorable assembly environments using DNA-nanoparticle conjugates. These nanobioconjugates combine the discrete plasmon resonances of gold nanoparticles with the synthetically controllable and highly selective recognition properties of DNA. Herein, we elucidate the beneficial properties of these materials in diagnostic, therapeutic, and detection capabilities and project their potential use as nanoscale assembly agents to realize complex three-dimensional nanostructures.
