Inspired by the isothermal enzymatic process of rolling circle amplification (RCA) of DNA strands, we have developed a system to achieve more than a 200-fold increase in the synthesis of DNA nanostructures using a single-stranded circular DNA template. The amplified DNA nanostructures have shown efficient delivery of folic acid (FA) conjugated siRNAs into KB cells with a dose dependent gene silencing.
