DNA-Based Polymers: Unleashing the Power of Nature?s CodeS

Pablos R

DNA-based polymers, also known as polymeric DNA or DNA origami, have emerged as a promising class of materials inspired by the elegant structure and information storage capabilities of DNA. These synthetic polymers incorporate DNA strands into their molecular structure, allowing for precise control over shape, size, and functionality. In this short communication, we explore the fascinating world of DNA-based polymers and their potential applications in nanotechnology, medicine, and materials science. We discuss their unique self-assembly properties, programmability, and address the challenges that need to be overcome for their broader adoption. As ongoing research and technological advancements continue to unravel the potential of DNA-based polymers, they hold great promise for the development of innovative and sustainable solutions.
