Diversifying DNA origami: Generative design tools rely on grammatical rules to find optimal shapes
(A) The grammar rules in this work include triangulation of surface meshes. The distance d and rotation angle θ are user-defined values. (B) Grammar rules are randomly sampled and applied to evolve the design solution sn during the generation process. Credit: Nucleic Acids Research (2024). DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkae1268 As the name suggests, DNA origami is a fabrication technique in which researchers…

DNA origami and fluorescent probes can precisely release molecular cargo
A concept for tracking transformation reactions of reconfigurable DNA origami array structures at the single molecule level in real time. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-51721-y Developing dynamic systems that respond to molecular signals is becoming increasingly important in nanotechnology, and DNA origami, a technique for programming DNA to create functional nanostructures, is playing a key role in these efforts.…
