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: In this paper, a DNA origami based nanoprinting (DOBNP) strategy was proposed to transfer the essential DNA strands with predefined sequences and positions to the surface of the gold nanocubes (AuNCs).

TL;DR: A novel PEC sensor using the in situ grown Au nanoparticles/two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet heterojunction on ITO glass as the photoanode and it can excellently discriminate the mismatched miRNA.

TL;DR: Five-strand DNA tiles that can readily self-assemble into well-organized micrometer-scale DNA nanostructures are designed that demonstrate the one-pot synthesis of Au metamaterials for highly amplified surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS).

TL;DR: The DNA Net design principle and strategy can be customized to tackle other life-threatening and economically influential viruses like influenza and HIV, whose surfaces carry class-I viral envelope glycoproteins like the SARS-CoV-2 spikes in trimeric forms.
