Subtractive assembly of DNA nanoarchitectures driven by fuel strand displacement.

چکیده
Herein we demonstrate that flexible DNA architectures with larger cavities can be efficiently constructed by first assembling a relatively more rigid DNA tile architecture and subsequently subtracting a center tile through fuel strand displacement; such structures are otherwise difficult to obtain if the center tile is missing in the beginning, proving a new strategy for DNA self-assembly.

Rational design of pH-controlled DNA strand displacement.
Achieving strategies to finely regulate with biological inputs the formation and functionality of DNA-based nanoarchitectures and nanomachines is essential toward a full realization of the potential of DNA nanotechnology. Here we demonstrate an unprecedented, rational approach to achieve control, through a simple change of the solution's pH, over an important class of DNA association-based reac...
متن کاملA Novel Computational Method to Reduce Leaky Reaction in DNA Strand Displacement
DNA strand displacement technique is widely used in DNA programming, DNA biosensors, and gene analysis. In DNA strand displacement, leaky reactions can cause DNA signals decay and detecting DNA signals fails. The mostly used method to avoid leakage is cleaning up after upstream leaky reactions, and it remains a challenge to develop reliable DNA strand displacement technique with low leakage. In...
متن کاملAvailability: A Metric for Nucleic Acid Strand Displacement Systems
DNA strand displacement systems have transformative potential in synthetic biology. While powerful examples have been reported in DNA nanotechnology, such systems are plagued by leakage, which limits network stability, sensitivity, and scalability. An approach to mitigate leakage in DNA nanotechnology, which is applicable to synthetic biology, is to introduce mismatches to complementary fuel se...
متن کاملMetallo-toeholds: controlling DNA strand displacement driven by Hg(II) ions.
Toehold-mediated strand displacement is a powerful tool that permits programmable control over DNA hybridization. Here, we developed a mechanism for strand displacement driven by Hg(2+) ions, in which the insertion of thymine-thymine mismatched base pairs on the toeholds provides additional control through variation of the concentration of Hg(2+) ions.
متن کاملA synthetic autonomous rotary nanomotor made from and fuelled by DNA
DNA nanostructures are made using synthetic DNA strands, the sequences of which are designed such that they will self-assemble into the desired form by hybridization of complementary domains. Various structures and devices have been presented, including DNA tweezers, nanorobots and a range of linear motors such as bipedal walkers. Inspiration for the latter is drawn from naturally occurring mol...
