"DNA origami is one the most promising recent developments in DNA self-assembly. It allows for the construction of arbitrary nanoscale patterns and objects by folding a long viral scaffold strand using a large number os short ''staple'' strands," scientists writing in the Journal of the American Chemical Society report.

"Assembly is usually accomplished by thermal annealing of DNA molecules is buffer solution. We here demonstrate that both 2D and 3D origami structures can be assembled isothermally by annealing the DNA strands in denaturing buffer, followed by a controlled reduction of denaturant concentration," wrote R. Jungmann and colleagues, Technical...
