Figure 5. Types of DNA Nanotechnology.

Figure 5

High resolution/structural DNA nanotechnology is shown on the left, where DNA is both the bricks and mortar of an assembly. A TX molecule is shown assembled into a 2D array. Low resolution/compositional DNA nanotechnology is shown on the right with floppy components or applications using DNA as 'smart glue' (top). This type of DNA nanotechnology can also be used to build structures, as shown at bottom, but the resolution is not as high.
