چکیده
The DNA origami strategy for assembling designed supramolecular complexes requires ssDNA as a scaffold strand. A system is described that was designed approximately one third the length of the M13 bacteriophage genome for ease of ssDNA production. Folding of the 2404-base ssDNA scaffold into a variety of origami shapes with high assembly yields is demonstrated.

In nucleic acid nanotechnology, designed RNA molecules are widely explored because of their usability originating from RNA's structural and functional diversity. Herein, a method to design and prepare RNA nanostructures by employing DNA origami strategy was developed. A single-stranded RNA scaffold and staple RNA strands were used for the formation of RNA nanostructures. After the annealing of ...
متن کاملOrganizing DNA origami tiles into larger structures using preformed scaffold frames.
Structural DNA nanotechnology utilizes DNA molecules as programmable information-coding polymers to create higher order structures at the nanometer scale. An important milestone in structural DNA nanotechnology was the development of scaffolded DNA origami in which a long single-stranded viral genome (scaffold strand) is folded into arbitrary shapes by hundreds of short synthetic oligonucleotid...
متن کاملUsing Protein Dimers to Maximize the Protein Hybridization Efficiency with Multisite DNA Origami Scaffolds
DNA origami provides a versatile platform for conducting 'architecture-function' analysis to determine how the nanoscale organization of multiple copies of a protein component within a multi-protein machine affects its overall function. Such analysis requires that the copy number of protein molecules bound to the origami scaffold exactly matches the desired number, and that it is uniform over a...
متن کاملThe Beauty and Utility of DNA Origami
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...
متن کاملAssembly of heterogeneous functional nanomaterials on DNA origami scaffolds.
One on each side: gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) are integrated on a single DNA origami scaffold. Streptavidin-functionalized QDs bind to biotin anchors on one side of the DNA origami, while DNA-coated AuNPs bind through DNA hybridization to single-stranded DNA on the other side of the scaffold. This approach offers a new path toward the organization of complex...
