Abstract

Abstract : Segmented DNA origami nanotubes have been explored in‐situ by using synchrotron small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS). We found that SAXS was sensitive to nanotube length and the polydispersity of the tube diameters. The main objects in this image illustrate several segmented DNA origami nanotubes. The white light beam and halo resemble the X‐ray beam that interacts with these DNA nanotubes. The Chinese painting of bamboo in the background indicates the multisection and flexible features of the DNA nanotubes. More information can be found in the communication by X. Liu, X. Zuo, et al. on page 1508 in Issue 12, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cbic.201800727 ).
