Fig. 4. Formation of tubes and coiled ribbons.

Fig. 4

A Seeded growth of a coiled ribbon. Coiled ribbons can be closed with sticky-end overhangs, as indicated with gold and blue. B v8.3 slats without sticky ends form open, tightly coiled ribbons. C v8.3 slats with 3 nt sticky ends form closed tubes of constant diameter. D v8.1 slats without sticky ends form open and loosely coiled ribbons (note the difference from the coiled ribbon in B). E v8.1 slats, with 4 nt sticky ends, form closed tubes of varying diameters in a single reaction. Scale bars are 100 nm.
