DNA self-assembled 3D nanoarchitectures. (a) Model of a DNA cube. (b) Model of a DNA tetrahedron. (c) Model (top) and cryo-EM image (bottom) of a DNA octahedron. (d) A library of 3D prisms and cubes are assembled from cyclic and single-stranded DNA molecules with organic vertices. (e) DNA tetrahedron, dodecahedron and buckyball each self-assembled from a single symmetric three-point star tile. (f) DNA icosahedron self-assembled from a five-point star tile.
