Aligning one-dimensional DNA duplexes into two-dimensional crystals
This paper develops a novel strategy for DNA self-assembly. Multiple copies of one single component DNA strand can self-assemble into continuous DNA duplexes with single-stranded side chains along the duplexes. Association among the side chains aligns the duplexes into DNA 2D crystals.
