DNA has proven to be a versatile and convenient material to work with in the construction of complex nanostructures through self-assembly. It even allows the construction of nanostructures that move, driven by DNA itself. The principles that allow DNA to be used as a fuel to drive DNA-based nanostructures are presented here along with a review of the DNA-driven nanodevices that have been realized to date.
