products being used at the human scale could provide unmatched opportunities for
nanobio-constructs. In this chapter, we have examined the context of the application
of nucleic acid-based nanoconstructs in terms of orthodox environmental analysis.
Further, we provide proof-of-concept of novel nucleic acid-based nanoconstructs
toward adsorption and reuse of a clinically relevant dye. The work provides perspective to the use of nucleic acid (or other biomolecule-based) nanoconstructs for
environmental analysis in atypical contexts.
