This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.
(wiki-TODO: add illustrative image)
Especially impressive branch of structural DNA nanotechnology: 3D blocks/parts made from DNA bricks (bricks = short floppy DNA snippets aka oglionucleotides, not the whole blocks) This is conceptual but they have been experimentally made with great success. – Picture is Figure1 from the paper "Three-Dimensional Structures Self-Assembled from DNA Bricks" by Yonggang Ke,Luvena L. Ong, William M. Shih, Peng Yin
  • 2D DNA origami
  • extended 2D lattice crystals
  • 3D DNA cages
  • 3D DNA blocks made from staple Bricks as voxels
  • hierarchical shape assembly of blocks controlled by salt concentration
  • micro sized periodic 3D structures
  • structures with elastic links that act as rotation allowing hinges actuated by single strand DNA as entropic spring
  • more complex linkage structures including an sliding element
  • operation in non water solvents

DNA frameworks

DNA bricks

[...]

When one watches the simulation of the self assembly process of DNA bricks [TODO add link] one is led to doubt the stiffness of the product. The DNA double helix can create siff polymeres if the used doublehelix segments are kept in the length range from one to three turns. Mentioned here [1] under the section "DNA as Construction Material" and referenced here [1] (unchecked). Is there quantitative information about the stiffness of whole DNA bricks (to investigate)?
