Design and structural characterization of signpost origami
(A) Four views of a ribbon (backbone) and plank (base pairs) representation of the signpost origami design. Scale bar, 20 nm.
(B) Negative-stain EM projection image (top; scale bar, 100 nm) and selected particles in different orientations (bottom; scale bar, 25 nm) of the folded signpost origami.
(C) CryoEM projection image (top; scale bar, 100 nm) and selected particles (bottom; scale bar, 50 nm) show significant contrast of the folded signpost origami in a background of cell lysate.
(D) Four views of a 3D structure of the signpost origami obtained from cryoET and sub-volume averaging. This experimentally determined structure closely matches the designed structure in (A). The DNA design of this signpost origami is given in Figure S2. Scale bar, 10 nm.
