TL;DR: Crystal structures of a dS-Cu-dS base pair inside a polymerase show that reversible chemistry is possible directly inside the polymerase, which enables the efficient copying of the inorganic crosslink and opens up the possibility of replicating and amplifying artificial inorganic DNA nanostructures by extending the genetic alphabet.

TL;DR: A review of DNA-based nanostructures can be found in this article, which summarizes the research which started almost 45 years ago with the investigation of how metal ions interact with unmodified DNA and which recently culminated in the development of artificial ligand-like nucleobases so far able to coordinate up to ten metal ions inside a single DNA duplex in a programmable fashion.

TL;DR: It is discovered that the strongly localized coordinative bond dominates the mechanics of this biomolecular hybrid for high loading rates, whereas at lower rates the broad binding potential of the DNA dominates the stability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the right-hand arrow should be pointing upwards as it appears here, instead of pointing downward as it does in Figure 2a. But this was not the case.
