DNA origami: synthesis and self-assembly

Curr Protoc Nucleic Acid Chem. 2012 Mar;Chapter 12:Unit 12.9.1-18. doi: 10.1002/0471142700.nc1209s48.

Abstract

DNA origami is an emerging technology for designing defined two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) DNA nanostructures. Here, we report an introductory practical guide with step-by-step experimental details for the design and synthesis of origami structures, and their size expansion in 1D and 2D space by means of self-assembly.
