    Sammanfattning : It was almost four decades ago when the recognition of DNA’s potential use as a programmable, self-assembling building material for nanostructures led to the birth and rapid expansion of the field of DNA nanotechnology, but it was two decades later when the development of the DNA origami technique initiated the widespread use of DNA based nanoconstructs through the simplification of the design process and the reduction of the required control over the quality and stoichiometry of the assembly components by using a single-stranded “scaffold” DNA and a set of “staple” oligonucleotides that “fold” the mentioned scaffold DNA into a predesigned shape by binding different regions of the scaffold strand together. This robust approach not only permitted the construction of intricate two- and three-dimensional structures, but it also allowed the design and fabrication of molecular patterns with unprecedented accuracy as each functionalizible component’s relative position in the DNA origami structure is known to nanometer precision.
