Single-molecule analysis using DNA origami.
During the last two decades, scientists have developed various methods that allow the detection and manipulation of single molecules, which have also been called "in singulo" approaches. Fundamental understanding of biochemical reactions, folding of biomolecules, and the screening of drugs were achieved by using these methods. Single-molecule analysis was also performed in the field of DNA nano...
متن کاملDNA origami: the art of folding DNA.
The advent of DNA origami technology greatly simplified the design and construction of nanometer-sized DNA objects. The self-assembly of a DNA-origami structure is a straightforward process in which a long single-stranded scaffold (often from the phage M13mp18) is folded into basically any desired shape with the help of a multitude of short helper strands. This approach enables the ready genera...
متن کاملMolecular processes studied at a single-molecule level using DNA origami nanostructures and atomic force microscopy.
DNA origami nanostructures allow for the arrangement of different functionalities such as proteins, specific DNA structures, nanoparticles, and various chemical modifications with unprecedented precision. The arranged functional entities can be visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) which enables the study of molecular processes at a single-molecular level. Examples comprise the investigat...
متن کاملNanomechanical DNA origami 'single-molecule beacons' directly imaged by atomic force microscopy
DNA origami involves the folding of long single-stranded DNA into designed structures with the aid of short staple strands; such structures may enable the development of useful nanomechanical DNA devices. Here we develop versatile sensing systems for a variety of chemical and biological targets at molecular resolution. We have designed functional nanomechanical DNA origami devices that can be u...

news & views infrared (Fig. 2b; orange-shaded regions). Within this spectral range, hBN is also a naturally hyperbolic material, whereby optical modes with very large momenta can be confined and propagated within the sub-diffractional volume of the material 11,12. As a result, optical confinement to volumes that are arbitrarily small with respect to the free-space wavelength should be feasible;...
