Hierarchical assembly and modeling of DNA nanotube networks using Y-shaped DNA origami seeds
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: nanotube end-to-end joining. We measure the kinetics of network growth and find that the assembly of networks can be approximated by a model of hierarchical assembly that assumes a single joining rate between DNA nanotube ends. Because the number of nucleation sites on Y-seeds and their spatial arrangement can be systematically varied by design, this hierarchical assembly process could be used to form a wide variety of networks and to understand the assembly mechanisms that lead to different types of material architectures at length scales of tens to hundreds of microns.
