Abstract
Branched oligonucleotides with symmetric arms 6–15, which may contain biotin as a second recognition code, were prepared. These molecules are designed to be used for the directed assembly of nanomaterials. The branched structure of the desired oligonucleotides was confirmed by mass spectrometry on small branched oliognucleotides, by gel electrophoresis, and by hybridization with complementary oligonucleotidenanoparticle conjugates, followed by visualization of the complexes by transmission electron microscopy.

We have achieved, for the first time, the selective patterning of centrosomes onto solid substrates. The use of such patterned centrosome arrays as templates for the directed polymerization of microtubules was also demonstrated. Centrosomes are small organelles in animal cells that serve as nucleati
