Molecular architectonics of DNA for functional nanoarchitectures

Abstract: DNA is the key biomolecule central to almost all processes in living organisms. The eccentric idea of utilizing DNA as a material building block in molecular and structural engineering led to the creation of numerous molecular-assembly systems and materials at the nanoscale. The molecular structure of DNA is believed to have evolved over billions of years, with structure and stability optimizations that allow life forms to sustain through the storage and transmission of genetic information with fidelity.

“…Works related to the formation of higherdimensional materials included, for example, the self-assembly of crystalline cellulose oligomers that resulted in nanoribbon networks [26], silicon nanowires that were formed by metalassisted chemical etching (MACE) [27], and the formation of high-tolerance crystalline hydrogels from cyclic dipeptides upon self-assembly [28]. In addition, a review on the use of DNA as the fundamental material building block for molecular and structural engineering [29] gives insight into this interesting field of research which has great potential.…”

“…Molecular architectonics is an art of generating novel functional architectures through the process of controlled molecular organization. [ 30–35,41, 48,49 ] Engineering of molecular organization into nano, micro, and macroscale molecular architectures and materials involves rational designing and synthesis of molecular building blocks with embedded assembly properties (self‐assembly, co‐assembly, or hetero‐assembly) and their integration into well‐defined configurations in a controlled fashion. The non‐covalent interactions among the molecular building units ultimately guide the formation of hierarchical architectures with diverse shapes, size, and functionalities.…”

“…In this context, the concept of molecular architectonics that involves custom design and engineering molecular organization, pave the way for development of next generation hierarchical nano/micro/macrostructured materials with desired self‐cleaning functionality. [ 30–37 ] Molecular architectonics facilitates the creation of functional micro/nanoarchitectures through the meticulously planned organization of suitably designed functional molecular building blocks through the bottom–up approach from the molecular level. [ 30,31,38–41 ] However, we must note that the uncontrolled or unspecific aggregation or crystallization of small molecules are unable to either roll off or stabilize the water droplets.…”

“…Apart from the bio‐applications, [11] the broad area of molecular architectonics has rekindled the advanced molecular and material architectures design in the areas of electronics, optics, photonics, catalysis, energy harvesting and storage, piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, catalysis, and sensing among others [18,19] . The mechanistic insights obtained from the biomolecular assemblies serve as the guiding principles in molecular architectonics mediated design of biomimetics and biomaterials, and the synergistic combination of synthetic and biological components generate hybrid biomaterials [20–22] . Peptide assembly process is driven by thermodynamic and kinetic parameters based on the synergistic effects of various inter and/or intramolecular noncovalent interactions as discussed above [23,24] .…”

“…The thermodynamic studies mainly focus on governing or driving forces and free energy of the assembly, while the kinetic studies depend on the structural regulation and kinetic nucleation of the growth process [23] . As discussed in the subsequent sections, molecular architectonics based on the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters provide opportunity to understand the biomolecular assembly mechanism with implications in the study of diseases involving misfolded protein structures and in developing dynamic biomaterials [1,2,22] …”
