"first synthetic system that has used this so called 'multi-site competitive exchange' principle... engineered molecular machines by folding DNA strands into three-dimensional shapes, a technique called DNA origami... could carry both DNA and protein cargo, and would generally be compatible with other biomolecules and nanoparticles. The cargo binds at multiple sites to the DNA receptor, and can be displaced by new cargo via a competitive-binding process, when other cargo is present in solution"
