Abstract
Coordination-driven self-assembly processes often produce remarkable structures. In particular, self-assembly processes mediated by chiral template units have provided research ideas for analyzing the formation of chiral macromolecules in living organisms. In this study, by regulating the proportion of reaction raw materials in the "one-pot" synthesis of lanthanide complexes, we constructed chiral template units with different coordination orientations. As a result, lanthanide chiral chains connected to different structures were obtained through the self-assembly process of coordination recognition. In particular, driven by coordination, chiral template units with codirectional coordination points (called cis configuration) coordinate solely with cis template units during the self-assembly process to obtain a one-dimensional (1D) chain R-1/S-1 with an "S"-shaped distribution. Moreover, chiral template units with reversed coordination sites (called trans configuration) and twisted chiral template units are connected solely to templates with the same configuration to form a 1D chain R-2/S-2 with an axial helix. A circular dichroism spectrum shows that R-1/S-1 and R-2/S-2 are two pairs of enantiomers. The controllable construction of these two differential 1D chains is of great significance for studying coordination recognition at the molecular level. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to construct a 1D lanthanide chain through the self-assembly process of coordination recognition. The assembly process of nucleotides to form a hierarchical structure is simulated. This work provides a vivid example of the controllable synthesis of lanthanide complexes with precise structures and offers a new perspective on the formation process of chiral macromolecules that simulates natural processes.

Abstract
Nanoparticles form long-range micropatterns via self-assembly or directed self-assembly with superior mechanical, electrical, optical, magnetic, chemical, and other functional properties for broad applications, such as structural supports, thermal exchangers, optoelectronics, microelectronics, and robotics. The precisely defined particle assembly at the nanoscale with simultaneously scalable patterning at the microscale is indispensable for enabling functionality and improving the performance of devices. This article provides a comprehensive review of nanoparticle assembly formed primarily via the balance of forces at the nanoscale (e.g., van der Waals, colloidal, capillary, convection, and chemical forces) and nanoparticle-template interactions (e.g., physical confinement, chemical functionalization, additive layer-upon-layer). The review commences with a general overview of nanoparticle self-assembly, with the state-of-the-art literature review and motivation. It subsequently reviews the recent progress in nanoparticle assembly without the presence of surface templates. Manufacturing techniques for surface template fabrication and their influence on nanoparticle assembly efficiency and effectiveness are then explored. The primary focus is the spatial organization and orientational preference of nanoparticles on non-templated and pre-templated surfaces in a controlled manner. Moreover, the article discusses broad applications of micropatterned surfaces, encompassing various fields. Finally, the review concludes with a summary of manufacturing methods, their limitations, and future trends in nanoparticle assembly.

Abstract
DNA origami-based templates have been widely used to fabricate chiral plasmonic metamaterials due to their precise control of the placement of nanoparticles (NPs) in a desired configuration. However, achieving various chiroptical responses inevitably requires a change in the structure of DNA origami-based templates or binding sites on them, leading to the use of significantly different sets of DNA strands. Here, we propose an approach to controlling various chiroptical responses with a single DNA origami design using its chemo-mechanical deformation induced by DNA intercalators. The chiroptical response could be finely tuned by altering the concentration of intercalators only. The silver (Ag) enhancement was used to amplify the chiroptical signal by enlarging NPs and to maintain it by stiffening the template DNA structure. Furthermore, the sensitivity in the chiroptical signal change to the concentration of intercalators could be modulated by the type of intercalator, the mixture of two intercalators, and the stiffness of DNA origami structures. This approach would be useful in a variety of optical applications that require programmed spatial modification of chiroptical responses.

Abstract
DNA intercalation has increasingly been studied for various scenario implementations due to the diverse functions of DNA/intercalators. Nascent organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) biosensing taking place in organic electronics and photoelectrochemical bioanalysis represents a promising technological frontier in the arena. In this work, we first devise DNA intercalation-enabled OPECT for miRNA detection with a superior gain up to 17100. Intercalation of [Ru(bpy)2dppz]2+ within the miRNA-initiated hybrid chain reaction (HCR)-derived duplex DNA is realized for producing anodic photocurrent upon light stimulation, causing the corresponding target-dependent alternation in gate voltage (VG) and hence the modulated channel current (IDS) of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) under specific drain voltage (VDS) for quantitative miRNA-21 analysis, which shows a wide linear relationship and a low detection limit of 5.5 × 10-15 mol L-1. This study features the DNA intercalation-enabled organic electronics with superior gain and is envisaged to attract more attention to explore DNA adducts for innovative bioelectronics and biosensing, given the diverse DNA binders with multiple functions.

Abstract
Double-stranded (ds) oligonucleotide probes composed of quencher-dye sequence pairs outperform analogous single-stranded (ss) probes due to their superior target sequence specificity without any prerequisite target labeling. Optimizing sequence combinations for dsprobe design requires promoting a fast, accurate response to a specific target sequence while minimizing spontaneous dsprobe dissociation events. Here, flow cytometry is used to rapidly interrogate the stability and selective responsiveness of 20 candidate LNA and DNA dsprobes to a 24 base-long segment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA and ∼243 degenerate RNA sequences serving as model variants. Importantly, in contrast to quantifying binding events of dye-labeled targets via flow cytometry, the current work employs the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based detection of unlabeled RNA targets. One DNA dsprobe with a 15-base-long hybridization partner containing a central abasic site emerged as very stable yet responsive only to the SARS-CoV-2 RNA segment. Separate displacement experiments, however, indicated that ∼12% of these quencher-capped hybridization partners remain bound, even in the presence of an excess SARS-CoV-2 RNA target. To examine their quenching range, additional titration studies varied the ratios and spatial placement of nonquencher and quencher-capped hybridization partners in the dsprobes. These titration studies indicate that these residual, bound quencher-capped partners, even at low percentages, act as nodes, enabling both static quenching effects within each residual dsprobe as well as longer-range quenching effects on neighboring FAM moieties. Overall, these studies provide insight into practical implications for rapid dsprobe screening and target detection by combining flow cytometry with FRET-based detection.

Abstract
Organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) biosensor with a removed background is desired but remains challenging. So far, scientists still lack a solution to this issue. The light-matter interplay is expected to achieve an advanced OPECT with unknown possibilities. Here, we address this challenge by tailoring a unique heterogeneous light antenna as the functional gating module and its cascade interaction with a proper channel, which is exemplified by bioinduced [Ru(bpy)2dppz]2+-intercalated DNA nanotubes (NTs)/NiO heterojunction and its modulation against a diethylenetriamine-treated poly(ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) channel. Light stimulation of the antenna can generate the obvious cathodic photocurrent and, hence, modulate the channel, accomplishing OPECT with a minimal background and the hitherto highest current gain of 19 000. Linking with nucleic acid hybridization using microRNA-155 as the representative target, the device achieves sensitive biosensing down to 5.0 fM.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in Hubei, China, in December 2019, has had a profound impact on global public health. With the elucidation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus structure, genome type, and routes of infection, a variety of diagnostic methods have been developed for COVID-19 detection and surveillance. Although the pandemic has been declared over, we are still significantly affected by it in our daily lives in the post-pandemic era. Among the various diagnostic methods, nanomaterials, especially metallic nanomaterials, have shown great potential in the field of bioanalysis due to their unique physical and chemical properties. This review highlights the important role of metallic nanosensors in achieving accurate and efficient detection of COVID-19 during the pandemic outbreak and spread. The sensing mechanisms of each diagnostic device capable of analyzing a range of targets, including viral nucleic acids and various proteins, are described. Since SARS-CoV-2 is constantly mutating, strategies for dealing with new variants are also suggested. In addition, we discuss the analytical tools needed to detect SARS-CoV-2 variants in the current post-pandemic era, with a focus on achieving rapid and accurate detection. Finally, we address the challenges and future directions of metallic nanomaterial-based COVID-19 detection, which may inspire researchers to develop advanced biosensors for COVID-19 monitoring and rapid response to other virus-induced pandemics based on our current achievements.

Abstract
DNA-mediated programming is emerging as an effective technology that enables controlled dynamic assembly/disassembly of inorganic nanocrystals (NC) with precise numbers and spatial locations for biomedical imaging applications. In this review, we will begin with a brief overview of the rules of NC dynamic assembly driven by DNA ligands, and the research progress on the relationship between NC assembly modes and their biomedical imaging performance. Then, we will give examples on how the driven program is designed by different interactions through the configuration switching of DNA-NC conjugates for biomedical applications. Finally, we will conclude with the current challenges and future perspectives of this emerging field. Hopefully, this review will deepen our knowledge on the DNA-guided precise assembly of NCs, which may further inspire the future development of smart chemical imaging devices and high-performance biomedical imaging probes.

Abstract
Utilization of nucleic acids (NAs) in nanotechnologies and nanotechnology-related applications is a growing field with broad application potential, ranging from biosensing up to targeted cell delivery. Computer simulations are useful techniques that can aid design and speed up development in this field. This review focuses on computer simulations of hybrid nanomaterials composed of NAs and other components. Current state-of-the-art molecular dynamics simulations, empirical force fields (FFs), and coarse-grained approaches for the description of deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid are critically discussed. Challenges in combining biomacromolecular and nanomaterial FFs are emphasized. Recent applications of simulations for modeling NAs and their interactions with nano- and biomaterials are overviewed in the fields of sensing applications, targeted delivery, and NA templated materials. Future perspectives of development are also highlighted.

Abstract
Novel DNA-based structures with the ability to encapsulate nanoscale molecules, such as proteins, can be applied to a wide range of areas, including reaction fields and micro/nano drug carriers. DNA-functionalized nanoparticle (DNA-NP) colloidal crystals have emerged as a new class of programmable DNA-based structures harboring metal nanoparticles with improved mechanical properties. The encapsulation of guest molecules into empty spaces in lattice structures is theoretically possible. However, due to the lack of a strategy for versatile encapsulation of guest molecules, the feasibility of nanoscale encapsulation by DNA-NP crystals is unclear. In this study, we developed DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticle (DNA-AuNP) crystals with tunable interparticle spacing for molecular encapsulation. We demonstrated that the modification of DNA-AuNP crystals with functional moieties, that is, biotin molecules, was effective in retaining molecules in the crystals. The crystallinities before and after encapsulation of the molecules were confirmed using small-angle X-ray scattering. We also succeeded in encapsulating CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins into DNA-AuNP crystals by harnessing their affinity for target molecules. These findings demonstrated the potential use of metal-DNA hybrid crystals as carriers for direct protein delivery via biolistic bombardment. Thus, this study provides an attractive strategy for creating a new class of DNA-based structures for macromolecular encapsulation, and an alternative research direction toward colloidal crystal engineering using DNA.

Abstract
ConspectusFacing increasing demand for precision medicine, materials chemistry systems for bioanalysis with accurate molecular design, controllable structure, and adjustable biological activity are required. As a genetic biomacromolecule, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is created via precise, efficient, and mild processes in life systems and can in turn precisely regulate life activities. From the perspective of materials chemistry, DNA possesses the characteristics of sequence programmability and can be endowed with customized functions by the rational design of sequences. In recent years, DNA has been considered to be a potential biomaterial for analysis and has been applied in the fields of bioseparation, biosensing, and detection imaging. To further improve the precision of bioanalysis, the supramolecular assembly of DNA on micro/nanointerfaces is an effective strategy to concentrate functional DNA modules, and thus the functions of DNA molecules for bioanalysis can be enriched and enhanced. Moreover, the new modes of DNA supramolecular assembly on micro/nanointerfaces enable the integration of DNA with the introduced components, breaking the restriction of limited functions of DNA materials and achieving more precise regulation and manipulation in bioanalysis. In this Account, we summarize our recent work on DNA supramolecular assembly on micro/nanointerfaces for bioanalysis from two main aspects. In the first part, we describe DNA supramolecular assembly on the interfaces of microscale living cells. The synthesis strategy of DNA is based on rolling-circle amplification (RCA), which generates ultralong DNA strands according to circular DNA templates. The templates can be designed with complementary sequences of functional modules such as aptamers, which allow DNA to specifically bind with cellular interfaces and achieve efficient cell separation. In the second part, we describe DNA supramolecular assembly on the interfaces of nanoscale particles. DNA sequences are designed with functional modules such as targeting, drug loading, and gene expression and then are assembled on interfaces of particles including upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and magnetic nanoparticle (MNPs). The integration of DNA with these functional particles achieves cell manipulation, targeted tumor imaging, and cellular regulation. The processes of interfacial assembly are well controlled, and the functions of the obtained bioanalytical materials can be flexibly regulated. We envision that the work on DNA supramolecular assembly on micro/nanointerfaces will be a typical paradigm for the construction of more bioanalytical materials, which we hope will facilitate the development of precision medicine.
