The spatial colocalization and the nanoscale confinement of functional biomolecules in natural systems are widespread mechanisms that regulate a number of cell activities. This, alongside recent progresses in DNA nanotechnology, represents a source of inspiration for the design of artificial, nucleic acid‐based systems with programmable properties. In this Minireview, it is highlighted and discussed how effective molarity‐driven processes induced by biomolecular confinement can be engineered and applied to synthetic DNA‐based systems. For more details see the Minireview by A. Porchetta et al. on page 9826 ff.
