Abstract

We designed an artificial one-dimensional DNA nanotrack that contains two T-motifs. It can be fabricated in a free solution and with a mica-assisted growth process. Also, we introduced a dry and wet method for the restoration of DNA nanostructures in order for them to be used in multiple applications.
