Self-Assembly: The Power of DNA Origami
DNA origami is a remarkable technique that allows scientists to fold DNA strands into intricate shapes, forming the framework for sophisticated nanobots. Through carefully sequenced base-pairing, these structures self-assemble into everything from hollow cages to molecular boxes, ideal for carrying and releasing therapeutic agents. As described in this Science article, DNA origami brings an unprecedented level of precision to drug delivery, enabling nanobots to function with extraordinary accuracy inside the human body.
