Abstract

In this review, we summarized the assembly behavior of DNA organic hybrids and listed reported strategies of tuning the morphology of assemblies. The self-assembly and morphological regulation of DNA organic hybrids provide an effective way to construct functional nanostructures with potential applications in nanomaterials, drug delivery and tissue engineering. The future directions are discussed.
