  • Title: Scaffolded DNA origami of a DNA tetrahedron molecular container.
    Author: Ke Y, Sharma J, Liu M, Jahn K, Liu Y, Yan H.
    Journal: Nano Lett; 2009 Jun; 9(6):2445-7. PubMed ID: 19419184.
    Abstract:
    We describe a strategy of scaffolded DNA origami to design and construct 3D molecular cages of tetrahedron geometry with inside volume closed by triangular faces. Each edge of the triangular face is approximately 54 nm in dimension. The estimated total external volume and the internal cavity of the triangular pyramid are about 1.8 x 10(-23) and 1.5 x 10(-23) m(3), respectively. Correct formation of the tetrahedron DNA cage was verified by gel electrophoresis, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering techniques.
