Abstract

Today, DNA emerged as a fundamental and intelligent molecule to assist construction and functionalization of nanodevices in the field of nanotechnology. Besides the powerful base-pair molecular recognition property utilized to control the final structure and function of materials, the ligand-binding capability and catalytic property offered by a large number of functional nucleic acids have stimulated the enthusiasm and creativity for molecular scientists from various disciplines to construct more intelligent DNA nanostructures and nanodevices. If the double helix is the core of DNA nanotechnology, functional nucleic acids are the active surfaces which take the role of interacting with peripheral environments. In this chapter, concept and basic property of functional nucleic acids are introduced, followed by a review of the application of functional nucleic acids in DNA nanotechnology.
