Sentences with phrase «scaffold strand»

Each staple strand is made up of a specific sequence of bases (adenine, cytosine, thaline and guanine — the building blocks of DNA), which is designed to pair with specific subsequences on the scaffold strand.

A clever strategy involving a series of bridges and loops was used to properly route the scaffold strand, allowing it to pass through the entire structure, touching all lines of the wireframe once and only once.

Scaffolded DNA origami utilizes numerous chemically synthesized, short DNA strands (staple strands) to direct the folding of a larger, biologically derived strand of DNA (scaffold strand).

The staple strands are introduced into a solution containing the scaffold strand, and the solution is then heated and cooled.

The standard for DNA origami has long been limited to a scaffold strand that is made up of 7,249 bases, creating structures that measure roughly 70 nanometers (nm) by 90 nm, though the shapes may vary.
