Abstract

In this chaper, we decribe the structures of DNA-based assembly of inorganic nanoparticle in one, two, and three dimensions. Smart DNA linker, DNA motifs, and DNA origami were introduced to assembled nanoparticle, respectively. We also show our insights for the application of DNA-inorganic nanoparticle structures in the future.
