DNA has special properties and its unique double-helical structure offers excellent prospects forcreating novel DNA-based materials. In recent years, DNA has been shown to be an ideal molecule in thematerial world. This review is intended to provide an overview of functional materials derived from DNAbased on the double-helical structure. Various DNA-based materials are reviewed according to the basicDNA structural properties, including the electrostatic properties of DNA as a highly charged polyelectrolyte,complementary base pairing, and intercalation and groove binding interaction with small molecules. Finally,attempts to produce biomaterials based on DNA are also summarized.
