3D nanomaterial crystals with DNA frames

Paper Featured on Cover of Nature Materials

Nature Materials features a paper from Professor Gang's group on the cover of the journal's July 2020 issue. In this paper, A platform approach based on the DNA programmability was established for creating desired ordered 3D nanomaterials from inorganic nanoparticles, proteins, and enzymes; novel optical and bio-catalytic functions were demonstrated.

(Bottom left) Schematic of the two different types of peptoid architectures for the DNA origami coating: brush and block. (Right) Molecular dynamics simulations of the interactions between duplex DNA and peptoid architectures of the brush (top) and block (bottom) type (blue = peptoid backbone, red = DNA binding domain, blue = water-s
