Expanding the DNA Nanotechnology Toolbox: Hierarchical Assembly and Self-Sorting of DNA Tiles With Precisely Controlled Hydrophobic Behavior.
DNA self-assembly is a powerful strategy to build complex nanostructures, but the chemical uniformity of natural nucleotides limits architectural diversity and long-range organization. Here, we expand the DNA nanotechnology toolbox by integrating tunable hydrophobic effects directly into DNA double-crossover (DX) tiles...
