Abstract

Abstract : A unique 'bivalve DNA origami' structure that can simultaneously form discrete and polymerized structures due to its conformational flexibility is proposed. The self‐assembly behavior of the bivalve DNA origami is investigated by varying the annealing factors. The particular annealing factors that facilitate the formation of discrete DNA origami and polymerized DNA origami structures are determined. The results offer insights into the underlying mechanism of DNA origami self‐assembly processes and highlight its dependence on scaffold/staple design strategies and annealing factors. © 2016 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
