Abstract
We report a general solid-phase synthesis strategy for a novel class of DNA block copolymer amphiphiles. The assembled spherical micelle structures exhibit recognition properties defined by their DNA sequences and can be used to build higher-ordered structures through hybridization with materials that possess complementary DNA. This work is an important step toward creating DNA modified structures that can act as phase transfer agents and carriers of nanovesicles.
