DNA origami structures can be programmed into arbitrary shapes with nanometer scale precision, which opens up numerous attractive opportunities to engineer novel functional materials. One intriguing possibility is to use DNA origamis for fully tunable, targeted, and triggered drug delivery. In this work, we demonstrate the coating of DNA origami nanostructures with virus capsid proteins for enh...

Using the RNA transcript as a template, RNA-templated DNA origami structures were constructed by annealing with designed DNA staple strands. RNA-templated DNA origami structures were folded to form seven-helix bundled rectangular structures and six-helix bundled tubular structures. The chemically modified RNA-DNA hybrid origami structures were prepared by using RNA templates containing modified...

This paper investigates novel computational design method for infinitesimally and finitely foldable rigid origami based on solving a first-order folding mode, which can be represented by a reciprocal figure. We derive these graphical conditions from a matrix representation of rigid origami, and extend the conditions to cases when the surface includes holes. We propose an algorithm to obtain for...

This article presents an algebraic background in solving the angle trisection problem using origami-folding. Origami has been originally the art of paper folding, and recently aroused strong interest in a wide discipline of science and technology owing to its deep mathematical implication. Origami is also known to be an efficient tool for solving the trisection problem, one of the three famous ...

The DNA origami approach enables the construction of complex objects from DNA strands. A fundamental understanding of the kinetics and thermodynamics of DNA origami assembly is extremely important for building large DNA structures with multifunctionality. Here both experimental and theoretical studies of DNA origami melting were carried out in order to reveal the reversible association/disassoc...

INTRODUCTION TO DNA ORIGAMI Over the past three decades, DNA, the genetic information carrier in most living organisms, has seen an ever-expanding role as a material for the construction of nanoscale objects. One technique in particular, known as DNA origami, has opened up the ability for researchers to design arbitrarily shaped complex three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures. Origami refers to t...

This paper introduces an approach for recognizing illustrations of origami drill books with a view to understanding folding process of origami. For this purpose, comparing and matching two kinds of graphic forms are required. One is a graph generated from an origami illustration image by applying image processing techniques to it. The other is that obtained from an internal model which is produ...

We introduce a way of simulating the creation of simple Origami (paper folding). The Origami is created in a thin shell simulation that realistically models the behavior and physical properties of paper. We demonstrate how to fold and crease the simulated paper wherever the user desires. This work employs cuttingedge advances in the field of discrete shell modeling to meet the challenge of simu...

We report the first DNA-based origami technique that can print addressable patterns on surfaces with sub-10 nm resolution. Specifically, we have used a two-dimensional DNA origami as a template (DNA origami stamp) to transfer DNA with pre-programmed patterns (DNA ink) on gold surfaces. The DNA ink is composed of thiol-modified staple strands incorporated at specific positions of the DNA origami...

We describe origami programming methodology based on constraint functional logic programming. The basic operations of origami are reduced to solving systems of equations which describe the geometric properties of paper folds. We developed two software components: one that provides primitives to construct, manipulate and visualize paper folds and the other that solves the systems of equations. U...
