DNA nanotechnology

Abstract

Since from the past few decades DNA appeared as an excellent molecular building block for the synthesis of nanostructures because of its probable encoded and confirmation intra- and intermolecular base pairing, various case strategies and consistent assembly techniques have been established to manipulate DNA nanostructures to at higher complexity. The capability to develop DNA construction with precise special control has permitted scientists to discover novel applications in many ways, such as scaffold development, sensing applications, nanodevices, computational applications, nanorobotics, nanoelectronics, biomolecular catalysis, disease diagnosis, and drug delivery. The present chapter emphasizes to brief the opportunities, challenges, and future prospective on DNA nanotechnology and its advancements. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019. All Rights Reserved.
