Noble decoration: DNA origami nanostructures (purple) were utilized as spatially addressable templates to organize noble-metal nanoparticles of silver (yellow balls) and gold (red ball) into well-defined discrete architectures (see examples nanostructure designs TEM images the assembled structures).
