Article: Reports from New York University highlight recent research in DNA research.

According to a study from the United States, "The control of the structure of matter is a key goal of nanoscience. DNA is an exciting molecule for control because it forms programmable intermolecular interactions."

"Stiff DNA structures, such as the double crossover motif, the tensegrity triangle, and the six-helix bundle (6HB) have been used to produce periodic arrays of DNA components. The 6HB motif consists of six DNA double helices flanking an inner cavity whose diameter is similar to that of a double helix. This motif appears to be an excellent candidate to sheathe and control nanorods by inserting them into the cavity, and then to control the placement and ...
