DNA origami object from viral DNA visualized by electron tomography. [1] The map is at the top and atomic model of the DNA colored below. (Deposited in EMDB EMD-2210) . DNA origami is the nanoscale folding of DNA to create arbitrary two- and three-dimensional shapes at the nanoscale.
Dietz’s main research focus is on DNA nanotechnology. He uses DNA origami to design molecular machines that can execute user-defined tasks. Among these devices are force-sensing nano-structures, [2] gigadalton-sized DNA assemblies, [3] dynamically switching devices, [4] molecular motors, [5] [6] and virus traps.
DNA origami is another strategy to form macromolecular cages or containers. In one case, a 3D macromolecular cage with icosahedral symmetry (resembling viral capsids) was formed based on the synthetic strategy in 2D origami. [11] The structure had an inside volume or hollow cavity encased by triangular faces, similar to a pyramid.
These include examples such as DNA machines, periodic two- and three-dimensional lattices, polyhedra, and DNA origami. [2] It can also be used to create sets of nucleic acid strands which are "orthogonal", or non-interacting with each other, so as to minimize or eliminate spurious interactions.
Watson and Crick completed their model, which is now accepted as the first correct model of the double helix of DNA. On 28 February 1953 Crick interrupted patrons' lunchtime at The Eagle pub in Cambridge, England to announce that he and Watson had "discovered the secret of life".

The DNA profile developed during testing didn’t match his. It was entered into the national DNA database, where it matched a different man, Shon Luther Matthews. In 2016 – 25 years after the ...
For this study, researchers used an animal model of cancer tumors. During the study, the animals were fed a diet rich in fructose. “It has been well established for over a century that cancer ...
In contrast, the SNA structure can be synthesized independent of nucleic acid sequence and hybridization, instead their synthesis relies upon chemical bond formation between nanoparticles and DNA ligands. Furthermore, DNA origami uses DNA hybridization interactions to realize a final structure, whereas SNAs and other forms of three-dimensional ...
