Abstract

Controlling the formation of hydrogen bonds is crucial for the development of supramolecular architectures. In this context, biological systems are the source of inspiration of supramolecular research for designing two-and three-dimensional nanostructures of increasing complexity. Among all biological macromolecules, DNA is certainly the most promising candidate. Indeed, DNA-based materials are relevant examples of structures for ...
