Rapid chiral assembly of rigid DNA building blocks for molecular nanofabrication.
Science 310:5754 (2005) 1661-1665
Abstract:
Practical components for three-dimensional molecular nanofabrication must be simple to produce, stereopure, rigid, and adaptable. We report a family of DNA tetrahedra, less than 10 nanometers on a side, that can self-assemble in seconds with near-quantitative yield of one diastereomer. They can be connected by programmable DNA linkers. Their triangulated architecture confers structural stability; by compressing a DNA tetrahedron with an atomic force microscope, we have measured the axial compressibility of DNA and observed the buckling of the double helix under high loads.Direct observation of steps in rotation of the bacterial flagellar motor
