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 ...

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 ...

Three DNA origami templates were designed so that quantum dots would arrange themselves (a) in the corners, (b) diagonally (three dots), and (c) in a line (four dots). NIST researchers found that ...

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 ...

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 ...
