Abstract
Soft‐Surface DNA Nanotechnology: DNA Constructs Anchored and Aligned to Lipid Membrane
Highlights
Two-dimensional (2D) DNA assemblies are usually, for imaging purposes, immobilized on hard surfaces resulting in irreversible systems devoid of any dynamics
The 2D DNA structures used in this study are based on a hexagonal core with three protruding arms, 120 degrees from each other (Figure 1)
The natural explanation for Figure 2. a) The binding site area of the hexagonal-like 2D DNA this is that HexP3 is located in a close to tangential orientation and the diameter of the liposome–DNA construct on the surface whereas HexP1 is in a more loose conforma- are shown as a function of the number of anchoring tion, probably projecting more or less perpendicular to the surface
Summary
Two-dimensional (2D) DNA assemblies are usually, for imaging purposes, immobilized on hard surfaces resulting in irreversible systems devoid of any dynamics. This soft attachment enables lateral diffusion of the anchored DNA on the surface. The 2D DNA structures used in this study are based on a hexagonal core with three protruding arms, 120 degrees from each other (Figure 1).
