Two-dimensional DNA origami assemblies using a four-way connector.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two-dimensional self-assembly of DNA origami structures was carried out using a connector that has connection sites at all four edges. By utilizing this four-way connector, five and eight origami monomers were assembled to form a cruciate and a hollow square structure, respectively.

Directionally controlled self-assembly of multiple molecules is an important technique for constructing multidimensional structures. DNA molecules are widely used for controlled self-assembly because of their programmability, defined structure, and acceptance of various functionalizations. The scaffolded DNA origami method developed for the preparation of twodimensional (2D) structures has been...
متن کاملElectron Microscopic Visualization of Protein Assemblies on Flattened DNA Origami.
DNA provides an ideal substrate for the engineering of versatile nanostructures due to its reliable Watson-Crick base pairing and well-characterized conformation. One of the most promising applications of DNA nanostructures arises from the site-directed spatial arrangement with nanometer precision of guest components such as proteins, metal nanoparticles, and small molecules. Two-dimensional DN...
متن کاملLattice-free prediction of three-dimensional structure of programmed DNA assemblies
DNA can be programmed to self-assemble into high molecular weight 3D assemblies with precise nanometer-scale structural features. Although numerous sequence design strategies exist to realize these assemblies in solution, there is currently no computational framework to predict their 3D structures on the basis of programmed underlying multi-way junction topologies constrained by DNA duplexes. H...
متن کاملSurface-enhanced Raman scattering plasmonic enhancement using DNA origami-based complex metallic nanostructures.
DNA origami is a novel self-assembly technique allowing one to form various two-dimensional shapes and position matter with nanometer accuracy. We use DNA origami templates to engineer surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrates. Specifically, gold nanoparticles were selectively placed on the corners of rectangular origami and subsequently enlarged via solution-based metal deposition. The resu...
متن کاملProgrammed two-dimensional self-assembly of multiple DNA origami jigsaw pieces.
We demonstrate a novel strategy of self-assembly to scale up origami structures in two-dimensional (2D) space using multiple origami structures, named "2D DNA jigsaw pieces", with a specially designed shape. For execution of 2D self-assembly along the helical axis (horizontal direction), sequence-programmed tenon and mortise were introduced to promote selective connections via π-stacking intera...
