Three-dimensional DNA nanostructures constructed by folding of multiple rectangles.

Abstract

The novel multi-arm DNA structures were designed using 2D-DNA Origami method, and these structures were folded into 3D hollow prism structures by introduction of connection strands into the arms. The opening of the prism structures were examined by a high-speed AFM, which showed the dissociation events of the connecting arms in the 3D-structures.
