The development of molecular electronics is one of the current focuses of bottom-up nanotechnology. DNA has been the building block for nanostructures with a variety of applications, and its use has been extended to the formation of conducting nanowires. The one-dimensional silver/DNA hybrid arrays reported recently are a step towards achieving longer DNA nanowires.
Keywords: DNA; metallo-base pairs; nanomaterials; nanowires; silver.
