RNA-templated DNA origami structures

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Apr 11;49(28):2879-81. doi: 10.1039/c3cc38804b.

Abstract

Using the RNA transcript as a template, RNA-templated DNA origami structures were constructed by annealing with designed DNA staple strands. RNA-templated DNA origami structures were folded to form seven-helix bundled rectangular structures and six-helix bundled tubular structures. The chemically modified RNA-DNA hybrid origami structures were prepared by using RNA templates containing modified uracils.
