Different approaches for building DNA nanostructures. The design of DNA nanostructure is based on the assembly of several medium-sized oligonucleotides that form either (a) a finite sized nanostructure or (b) assembled building blocks that further oligomerize into a finite sized nanostructure. (c) DNA nanostructure can be assembled from a single long DNA scaffold (blue) and short oligonucleotides (red, green) that hold the scaffold in place. (d) 2D and 3D nanostructures can be constructed by short DNA strands, DNA bricks.
