To study the behavior of T-cells, an unusual method was used: DNA molecules were folded in an ingenious way, similar to the paper folding art origami. In this way, not just a double helix is created, ...

DNA can be folded into nearly any three-dimensional shape desired with the use of short DNA fragments. The DNA nanostructure can also be equipped with specific docking sites for proteins. A team led ...

Validating and testing a fluorescence microscope or a microscopy method requires defined samples that can be used as standards. DNA origami is a new tool that provides a framework to place defined ...

A central challenge in nanotechnology is the parallel fabrication of complex geometries for nanodevices. Here we report a general method for arranging single-walled carbon nanotubes in two dimensions ...

Point the finger: Zinc-finger proteins are convenient and site-selective adaptors for targeting specific locations within DNA-origami structures. Orthogonal targeting of the specific locations in the ...
