Principle and application of DNA self-assembly, as proposed by Ned Seeman. (a) Principle of DNA self-assembly: combining branched DNA nanostructures with sticky-ends to form 2D arrays. Arabic numbers indicate base-paring strategies between sticky-ends (1 is complementary to 1′, etc.) (b) Protein crystallization templated by DNA 3D self-assembly.
