The combination of branched DNA molecules and `sticky' ends createsa powerful molecular assembly kit for structural DNA nanotechnology.Polyhedra, complex topological objects, a nanomechanical device andtwo-dimensional arrays with programmable surface features have alreadybeen produced in this way. Future applications range from macromolecularcrystallography and new materials to molecular electronics and DNA-basedcomputation.
