Using the blank DNA origami template 1. Lay out the blank DNA origami template on the table. Designed by Alex Bateman (2003) 2. Start by writing the fi rst letter of your DNA sequence (A,T, G or C) in the top right corner. 3. Continue your sequence down the column on the right. 4. Write the corresponding bases in boxes
This activity explores the structure of DNA in a paper-based form. You can also use the blank version to explore the pairing rules of DNA, by colouring in each base pair using the pairing rules printout.
document attempts to provide a step-by-step guide to designing DNA origami nanostructures using the tools available at the current state of the art. Key words: DNA nanofabrication; DNA origami; self-assembly.
Adapted from Yen, T., 1995, Make your own DNA. Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 20: 94. Solid lines are “mountains” and are to be folded away from you with the peak pointing towards you. 1. Fold all solid lines going lengthwise down the page into "mountain folds".
To start folding your DNA, print the ˜rst page on 11x17 or tabloid paper . Step 3 - Fold diagonal lines. Flip paper over and fold each diagonal line toward you with crisp sharp folds and unfold. Step 5 - Twist and compress Step 6 - Final DNA. Starting at the top, start to fold, twist, and compress the DNA until it folds onto itself.
Making your DNA model Folds for your DNA model 1 1. Cut the white border off the top, bottom, and sides of the template.
In a technique known as DNA origami, researchers fold long strands of DNA over and over again to construct a variety of tiny 3-D structures, including miniature biosensors and drug-delivery...
