“…Among these, we mention the open questions related to the high-packing of DNA on gold NPs surfaces, an example of which is given by the recent study by Lee et al 64 The authors make use of atomistic level models to investigate the molecular structure of the DNA strands bridging gold NPs. [64][65][66] Double-stranded DNA can assume different configurations. The most common structure in physiological environment, originally formulated by Watson and Crick, 6 is known as B-DNA.…”

In this article we review the latest achievements in understanding and controlling DNA-mediated interactions between colloidal particles. We report the results of experiments, theoretical studies and computer simulations designed to investigate interactions and aggregation/melting behaviour of DNA-functionalized colloids. The unprecedented insight into the physical effects influencing the interactions and their relation with the tunable parameters of the grafted DNA has resulted in innovative DNA coatings, which are expected to solve the decennial issues encountered in the self assembly of DNA-coated colloids.
