Abstract
Nucleic acids include substantial information in their base sequence and their hybridization-complexation motifs. Recent research efforts attempt to utilize this biomolecular information to develop DNA nanostructures exhibiting machine-like functions. DNA nano-assemblies revealing tweezers, motor, and walker activities exemplify a few such machines. The DNA-based machines provide new components that act as sensitive sensors, transporters, or drug delivery systems.
