Programming the 3D spatial organization of quantum dots requires precise control over their individual valence, but this is challenging due to the possible presence of multiple binding sites. Here, authors develop a general approach that uses highly programmable wireframe DNA origami structures to control the 3D spatial relationships between QDs and other non-nucleic-acid molecules.
