      Preface

      Thanks to the contributions of great pioneers and many researchers, DNA nanotechnology has become one of the major fields in science and technology. Since the introduction of DNA origami created by Dr. Rothemund of California Institute of Technology in 2006, it has become a fascinating field for the researchers around the world. DNA origami has grown significantly in these 15 years. This DNA origami field has contributed to numerus scientific discoveries and creation of innovative technologies. Many researchers now recognize that DNA origami has boundless possibilities. This field has become a multidisciplinary research area, where the researchers join in together from various research fields including computer science, materials science, chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine. The research field is open for new researchers who want to realize their ideas, which makes this field more innovative. So, it is not too much to say that the DNA origami technology has completely changed the concept of nanotechnology and research styles.

      This book entitled DNA Origami: Structures, Technology, and Applications, highlights breakthroughs of DNA origami researches with comprehensive view from the past to the latest researches. The first section gives a general introduction of DNA origami followed by reviews on strategy for DNA origami design and its applications. The second section gives researches on applications for DNA origami‐based physics and biophysics. The third section gives the applications for DNA origami‐based chemistry and biochemistry. The fourth section gives the details about biological and medical applications. The topics presented in this book will make reader comprehensively understand how DNA origami technology has emerged and been expanded to multidisciplinary researches. The readers will also learn about the potential of researches and future directions.

      Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the contributors for their tremendous efforts and works to complete this book. I also sincerely thank for all the staffs of John Wiley & Sons for production of this fantastic book.

      I greatly hope that the reader will enjoy this book and learn the fascinating aspects of DNA origami technology and find the possibility of this research area for future innovations.This book is sincerely dedicated to the late Professor Nedrian C. Seaman, the great founder of DNA nanotechnology.

      DNA nanotechnology has grown as a field of research in the past three decades. The technology uses the self‐assembly of DNA molecules that have sequence selectivity, programmability, and periodical double‐helical structure. Self‐assembly is commonly seen in living systems and plays a central role in the formation of cellular structures and thus influences the functions of organized biological systems in the cell. From the viewpoint of molecular science, the precise formation of structures via self‐assembly attracts attention because specific functions can stem from the precise arrangement of the molecules. DNA nanotechnology allows the construction of various self‐assembled scaffolds that are versatile for the placement and arrangement of functional molecules and nanomaterials and for the production of complex molecular devices.

      This chapter describes the general introduction of DNA origami and highlights the basics of DNA origami technology, including the design and construction of 2D and three‐dimensional (3D) structures and selective functionalization. In addition, this chapter focuses on its applications in various research fields, including single‐molecule detection and sensing, single‐molecule imaging of biomolecules, molecular machines, plasmonics, dynamic devices, and molecular delivery systems.
