DNA-assembled nanoarchitectures with multiple components in regulated and coordinated motion
Pengfei Zhan, Maximilian J. Urban, Steffen Both +4
Coordinating functional parts to operate in concert is essential for machinery. In gear trains, meshed gears are compactly interlocked, working together to impose rotation or trans…
DNA-Assembled Multilayer Sliding Nanosystems
Pengfei Zhan, Steffen Both, Thomas Weiss +1
DNA nanotechnology allows for the realization of complex nanoarchitectures in which the spatial arrangements of different constituents and most functions can be enabled by DNA. Whe…
DNA origami
Swarup Dey, Chunhai Fan, Kurt V. Gothelf +9
Biological materials are self-assembled with near-atomic precision in living cells, whereas synthetic 3D structures generally lack such precision and controllability. Recently, DNA…
DNA Origami Catenanes Templated by Gold Nanoparticles
Andreas Peil, Pengfei Zhan, Na Liu
Mechanically interlocked molecules have marked a breakthrough in the field of topological chemistry and boosted the vigorous development of molecular machinery. As an archetypal ex…
