摘要：For about three decades, DNA-based nanotechnology has been undergoing development as an assembly method for nanostructured materials. The DNA origami method pioneered by Rothemund paved the way for the formation of 3D structures using DNA self assembly. The origami approach uses a long scaffold strand as the input for the self assembly of a few hundred staple strands into desired shapes. Herein, we present a 3D origami "roller" (75 nm in length) designed using caDNAno software. This has the potential to be used as a template to assemble nanoparticles into different pre-defined shapes. The "roller" was characterized with agarose gel electrophoresis, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

摘要：根据Watson-Crick DNA碱基互补配对原则,设计了不同黏性末端DNA序列,以两种三点星状为模块(three-point-star motif),运用DNA自组装技术,成功制备了六边形网格状DNA二维阵列.研究不同单链DNA的摩尔比例对三点星状模块结构组装的影响,以及不同起始退火温度对二维阵列自组装的影响,用凝胶电泳及原子力显微镜(AFM)对结构进行了表征.结果表明,当构成三点星状模块的3条单链摩尔比例为1:3:3时得到的模块结构更稳定,从50℃开始退火时得到的二维阵列更完整.自组装得到的二维阵列厚度约2nm,六边形边长约20nm.本研究为进一步探究三点星模块组装二维阵列的机理提供了新的思路.
