Overview of diffusion parameters and surface properties for different NPs and buffer conditions.

Probe and buffer	Persistence length [Å] a)	End-to-end distances [Å]	Diffusion coefficient [μm 2 s−1]	Power-law dependency α	Friction factor f
Ab-ssDNA-NPs in 0.1 M NaCl	12.7[55,56]	87	3.90	0.95	18.9
Ab-ssDNA-NPs in 0.5 M NaCl	5.7[55,56]	70	3.60	0.95	20.5
Ab-PEG-NPs in 0.1 M NaCl	3.7[57]	52	3.27	0.98	22.6
Ab-ssDNA-nanoprisms in 0.1 M NaCl	12.7[55,56]	87	1.94	1.01	38.0

^a)The persistence lengths of single - stranded DNA molecules were calculated using the formula provided in ref. [55]: $p(Å)=6.42\times {10}^{-8}+4C_{\mathrm{s}}^{-½}(\text{mol}{\mathrm{L}}^{-1})$.
