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 ...

Scientists have begun to harness DNA’s powerful molecular machinery to build artificial structures at the nanoscale using the natural ability of pairs of DNA molecules to assemble into complex ...

5pm WSH Memorial Room Origami Club is teaching how to fold the Umulius Impossible Rectangle. We teach step by step with videos and live expert origami officers. The event is free and everyone is ...

Figure 1: Predetermined positioning of streptavidin on a DNA origami scaffold. An excess of streptavidin was subsequently added to the origami scaffold to bind to the 12 biotins, and the AFM images ...

T-cells are an important component of our immune system: with the receptors they carry on their surface, they can recognise highly specific antigens. Upon detection of an intruder, an immune response ...

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 ...
