Abstract
DNA is a promising construction material for the supramolecular 'bottom-up' engineering
of artificial nanostructured devices. The use of DNA for the selective positioning
of macromolecular components, the fabrication of nanostructured DNA scaffolds, as
well as the DNA-templated synthesis of nanometer-sized and mesoscopic complexes, consisting
of inorganic and bioorganic compounds, are exciting areas of current research.
