Towards Multistep Nanostructure Synthesis: Programmed Enzymatic Self-Assembly of DNA/Gold Systems
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2003, 42, No. 2, 191-194
Abstract
Enzyme-dependent assembly of DNA/gold nanostructures is achieved using DNA-capped gold colloids and DNA processing enzymes. Particle-bound DNA double strands are cleaved at designated sites by a restriction endonuclease (see picture). In a subsequent step, the particles are linked to each other through these activated sites by a DNA ligase. This new strategy enables the multistep synthesis of nanostructures.
