Folding pathways of DNA nanostructures

Abstract:

DNA origami is a robust technique for the production of DNA whereby a long scaffold strand is folded through interactions with many short staple strands. This thesis describes my work on two DNA origami-based systems. One is an origami tile whose folding can be kinetically-controlled through the use of `helper strands', which are designed to bind to the scaffold. This allows the tile to be folded rapidly at temperatures below the tile melting temperature, which is not otherwise possible du...
