DNA is an excellent building-block for nanotechnology due to its nanoscale dimensions, its remarkable ability to self-assemble in a predictable and programmable way, and its capacity to recognize and bind to a wide variety of target molecules. In the near future, it is conceivable that biosensors, medical diagnostics and therapeutics based on DNA nanoarchitectures and nanomachines will be in routine use. In order to achieve this aim, we will require a sound understanding of DNA as a material for nanotechnology before innovative applications can be rationally designed.

DNA 因其纳米级尺寸、以可预测和可编程方式自组装的卓越能力以及识别和结合多种目标分子的能力，成为纳米技术的绝佳构建模块。 可以想象，在不久的将来，基于 DNA 纳米结构和纳米机器的生物传感器、医学诊断和治疗将得到日常使用。 为了实现这一目标，我们需要对 DNA 作为纳米技术材料有充分的了解，然后才能合理地设计创新应用。
