D. Porath, A. Kotlyar, and co-workers transform DNA to a conducting material by metalization through coating or chemical modifications, as described on page 4839. Specific and reversible metalization of poly(dG)-poly(dC) DNA by migration of atoms from silver nanoparticles to the DNA is demonstrated. As the transformation occurs gradually, novel, truly hybrid molecular structures are obtained, paving the way to their usage as nanowires in programmable molecular electronic devices and circuits.

The use of self-assembly techniques may open new possibilities in scaling down electronic circuits to their ultimate limits. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) nanotechnology has already demonstrated that it can provide valuable tools for the creation of nanostructures of arbitrary shape, therefore presenting an ideal platform for the development of nanoelectronic circuits. So far, however, the electronic properties of DNA nanostructures are mostly insulating, thus limiting the use of the nanostructures in electronic circuits.
