DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving ...
(Nanowerk News) Bioengineers have found a way to program the size and shape of virus particles by combining viral protein building blocks and templates made from DNA. The resulting nanostructures ...
A coarse-grained model of the DNA origami lilypad used in the study. The tails hanging down indicate where redox reporters are located. For scale, the diameter of the disk is approximately 80 nm.
Griffith University researchers have played a key role in using DNA 'origami' templates to control the way viruses are assembled. The global team behind the research, published in Nature ...
To assemble these minuscule structures, researchers first create a scaffold: a long piece of single-stranded DNA with a carefully designed sequence of bases. Then they add hundreds of shorter DNA ...
A group of bioengineers at Arizona State University have come up with an ingenious approach to create DNA origami nanostructures using a LEGO robot as a gradient mixer. JONATHAN NACKSTRAND/AFP via ...
Researchers have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown way. The result opens new avenues for ...
Johns Hopkins engineers have created a new optical tool that could improve cancer imaging. Their approach, called SPECTRA, uses tiny nanoprobes that light up when they attach to aggressive cancer ...
Using DNA origami, researchers have built a diamond lattice with a periodicity of hundreds of nanometers -- a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light. Using DNA origami, LMU ...
