No strings attached : At least three attachment points are needed to align a two‐dimensional DNA nanoconstruct to a soft lipid membrane surface with a porphyrin nucleoside as membrane anchor (see picture). The resulting freely diffusing DNA constructs can be reversibly assembled on the surface thus enabling the possibility of a self‐repairing system.
