Fold and label : A critical challenge in nanoparticle (NP) surface functionalization is to label the NP surface with a single copy of a functional group or to display multiple, unique molecules on the NP surface with control of the orientation and intermolecular distance. This challenge was addressed with the construction of a spatially addressable, self‐assembling DNA origami nanocage that encapsulates gold nanoparticles and interrupts its surface symmetry (see scheme).
