SPAtially-Controlled lIgand arraNGement by origami-based nanoprinters
The key challenge of SPACING is to develop a beyond state-of-the-art technology to self-assemble pre-designed 3D ligand configurations with sub-nanometer precision (nanopatterning) onto colloidal nanoparticles (NPs). The proposed aqueous-based technology is aimed to develop artificial NP´s libraries with a pre-designed discrete number of ligands in any desired spatial arrangement (i.e., inspired by nature such as virus capsids), which so far has not been feasible by any method (in solution or otherwise). Within this project we will design and develop a versatile, reusable and user-friendly DNA origami-based tool (nanoprinters) for printing ligands onto NPs; the multifunctionality and…
