Synthesis of a DNA-Silica Complex with Rare Two-Dimensional Square p4mm Symmetry

摘要

Studying genetic material to control the two-and three-dimensional packing of biomolecular-scale building blocks into well-defined meso-and macroscopic structures is useful for understanding the mechanisms involved in living organisms, and assists application in biotechnology, nanotechnol-ogy, and materials chemistry.Meters of genetic material are naturally packed into compact structures by a variety of methods that are optimized for specific requirements.
