Description

I present work where we propose a novel method for the controlled positioning of carbon nanotubes on DNA self-assembled structures. The method is based on the use of streptavidin (STV)–biotin interaction. Precise assembly of both a single CNT and CNT cross-junctions on DNA-origami templates with relatively high yield is demonstrated. The results thus make an essential contribution to the toolbox of nanowire assembly on DNA origami templates.
