DNA-linked nanoparticle building blocks for nanostructure assembly and methods of producing the same

Abstract

A method of producing a nanoparticle assembly. The method includes attaching a first DNA molecule to a bead to form a first DNA-bead complex; and combining a nanoparticle with the first DNA-bead complex to form a nanoparticle-DNA-bead complex having one DNA molecule attached to the nanoparticle
