Abstract

Messages encoded from DNA sequence provide extensional structural and functional information in constructing DNA nanostructures. Therefore, DNA is used more than just as a genetic blueprint of life, it is also as innovative building blocks for building up various innovative nanomaterials with nano-meter resolution and micro-meter scale length. Long, and single-stranded DNA with repetitive sequence was in situ synthesized on silicon-based substrate and served as a nanotemplate to incorporate variable heteroelements, including enzymes, nanoparticles. Optical properties of gold nanoparticle chains were measured and extended applications of DNA nanotemplates in optics and nanotechnology.
