Figure 1. DNA origami nanostructures for patterning.

Figure 1

(a) Seeman tile (ST)7, (b) double-triangle (DT), (c) hexagonal tube (HT)52 and (d) 60-helix bundle (HB). (bd) are CanDo-simulated57 deformed solution shapes, resolved using caDNAno design files58 as inputs. (e) Agarose gel electrophoresis of the well-folded DNA structures described in (ad). S = scaffold strand (M13mp18), which is used as a reference sample. (f) A schematic view of patterning a substrate (white colour) through an optionally used mechanical mask (green colour, openings 1–2 mm in diameter). DNA origami nanostructures (blue 60-helix bundles) are sprayed onto the substrate using an airbrush device. Figure (f) is not in scale.
