Figure 4. Scaffolding Applications of Structural DNA Nanotechnology.

Figure 4

(a) Scaffolding of Biological Macromolecules for Crystallographic Purposes. A DNA box (magenta) is shown with sticky ends protruding from it. Macromolecules are organized parallel to each other within the box, rendering them amenable to crystallographic structure determination. (b) Scaffolding Nanoelectronics. Blue branched DNA junctions direct the assembly of attached nanoelectronic components (red) to form a molecular synapse stabilized by the presence of an ion.
