Since the COVID-19 pandemic, pretty much everybody is familiar with this technology: paper-based rapid test strips, also ...

6 DNA origami is a nanoscale DNA folding technique whereby long, single-stranded pieces DNA self-assemble into two- and three-dimensional shapes. To coax the DNA into a specific shape, shorter ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. Using a technique called “DNA origami,” researchers created traps that encase large viruses—such as SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and Zika—in hopes of ...

This approach has already been utilized in "DNA origami," which can produce complex molecules of the desired shapes and functions. But how can we scale up the process and achieve greater variety?

A comprehensive review titled "From the Test Tube to the Cell: A Homecoming for DNA Computing Circuits?" published Mar. 4 in ...

A key area of focus is DNA assembly, including a technique known as DNA origami. An ever-increasing number of research groups are exploiting programmable self-assembly properties of nucleic acids in ...

DNA is often used as a system for organizing other materials than DNA to somewhat lower resolution than the crystallographic ideal. Gold nanoparticles, proteins, viruses, and other nanoscale species ...

"In contrast to DNA origami, the advantage of RNA origami is that synthetic cells can manufacture their building blocks by themselves," stresses Kerstin Göpfrich. She adds that this could open ...
