TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a nanoscale assembly line can be realized by the judicious combination of three known DNA-based modules: a DNA origami tile that provides a framework and track for the assembly process, cassettes containing three independently controlled two-state DNA machines that serve as programmable cargo-donating devices and a DNA walker that can move on the track from device to device and collect cargo.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates a designer DNA nanostructure that can act as a template to display multiple binding motifs with precise spatial pattern-recognition properties, and shows that this approach can confer exceptional sensing and potent viral inhibitory capabilities.

TL;DR: A dynamic form of patterning is demonstrated in which a pattern component is captured between two independently programmed DNA devices and this capture system can lead to dynamic control either on patterns or on programmed elements.

TL;DR: The PX motif has recently found a new role directly in basic biology, by possibly serving as the molecular structure for double-stranded DNA homology recognition, a prominent feature of molecular biology and essential for many crucial biological processes.

TL;DR: In this article, a homobifunctional cross-linker was used to obtain a high surface coverage of linking groups, succinimidyl ester or maleimide.
