These connectors allowed planar DNA tiles to assemble into 2D array structures by taking advantage of the geometry of the 2.5 helical turns between two DNA tiles ( Figure 2 strand of DNA, 53 which resembled the self-assembly of natural protein nanofilaments. Mao and coworkers developed a concept in which DNA sequence symmetry could be used to design DNA building blocks for larger self-assembled structures. 23, 74 In contrast to the conventional crossover strategy, which creates single building blocks that self-assemble into larger structures in a 'two-step' process, DNA origami provides a versatile and simple 'one-pot' method using numerous short single strands of DNA (staple strands) to direct the folding of a long, single strand of DNA into the desired shape ( Figure 3 (g)). ./cache/cord-335607-gv96hlw6.txt ./txt/cord-335607-gv96hlw6.txt
