New Ideas? 1. http://biosingularity.wordpress.com/2006/01/05/physicists-create-first-robust-dna-building-blocks-for-use-in-nanofabrication/

"As well as potential applications in the manufacture of nanostructures such as molecular electrical circuits, Professor Turberfield’s team are investigating using the DNA tetrahedra as containers for individual protein molecules: a technique which if successful could one day lead to new methods of drug delivery." if only they actually told us how we could do this...

2. "A biologist might use DNA origami to take proteins which normally occur separately in nature and organize them into a multi-enzyme factory that hands a chemical product from one enzyme machine to the next in the manner of an assembly line."

3. using DNA nanostructures to transport charges (for DNA repair)?
