Single DNA Origami Detection by Nanoimpact Electrochemistry.

ABSTRACT: DNA has emerged as the material of choice for producing supramolecular building blocks of arbitrary geometry from the 'bottom up'. Characterisation of these structures via electron or atomic force microscopy usually requires their surface immobilisation. In this work, we developed a nanoimpact electrochemistry platform to detect DNA self-assembled origami structures in solution, using the intercalator methylene blue as a redox probe. Here, we report the electrochemical detection of single DNA origami collisions at Pt microelectrodes. Our work paves the way towards the characterisation of DNA nanostructures in solution via nanoimpact electrochemistry.

Single antibody detection in a DNA origami nanoantenna.

Project description:DNA nanotechnology offers new biosensing approaches by templating different sensor and transducer components. Here, we combine DNA origami nanoantennas with label-free antibody detection by incorporating a nanoswitch in the plasmonic hotspot of the nanoantenna. The nanoswitch contains two antigens that are displaced by antibody binding, thereby eliciting a fluorescent signal. Single-antibody detection is demonstrated with a DNA origami integrated anti-digoxigenin antibody nanoswitch. In combination with the nanoantenna, the signal generated by the antibody is additionally amplified. This allows the detection of single antibodies on a portable smartphone microscope. Overall, fluorescence-enhanced antibody detection in DNA origami nanoantennas shows that fluorescence-enhanced biosensing can be expanded beyond the scope of the nucleic acids realm.

Single-stranded DNA and RNA origami.

Project description:Self-folding of an information-carrying polymer into a defined structure is foundational to biology and offers attractive potential as a synthetic strategy. Although multicomponent self-assembly has produced complex synthetic nanostructures, unimolecular folding has seen limited progress. We describe a framework to design and synthesize a single DNA or RNA strand to self-fold into a complex yet unknotted structure that approximates an arbitrary user-prescribed shape. We experimentally construct diverse multikilobase single-stranded structures, including a ~10,000-nucleotide (nt) DNA structure and a ~6000-nt RNA structure. We demonstrate facile replication of the strand in vitro and in living cells. The work here thus establishes unimolecular folding as a general strategy for constructing complex and replicable nucleic acid nanostructures, and expands the design space and material scalability for bottom-up nanotechnology.

DNA detection using origami paper analytical devices.

Project description:We demonstrate the hybridization-induced fluorescence detection of DNA on an origami-based paper analytical device (oPAD). The paper substrate was patterned by wax printing and controlled heating to construct hydrophilic channels and hydrophobic barriers in a three-dimensional fashion. A competitive assay was developed where the analyte, a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), and a quencher-labeled ssDNA competed for hybridization with a fluorophore-labeled ssDNA probe. Upon hybridization of the analyte with the fluorophore-labeled ssDNA, a linear response of fluorescence vs analyte concentration was observed with an extrapolated limit of detection <5 nM and a sensitivity relative standard deviation as low as 3%. The oPAD setup was also tested against OR/AND logic gates, proving to be successful in both detection systems.

DNA origami single crystals with Wulff shapes.

Project description:DNA origami technology has proven to be an excellent tool for precisely manipulating molecules and colloidal elements in a three-dimensional manner. However, fabrication of single crystals with well-defined facets from highly programmable, complex DNA origami units is a great challenge. Here, we report the successful fabrication of DNA origami single crystals with Wulff shapes and high yield. By regulating the symmetries and binding modes of the DNA origami building blocks, the crystalline shapes can be designed and well-controlled. The single crystals are then used to induce precise growth of an ultrathin layer of silica on the edges, resulting in mechanically reinforced silica-DNA hybrid structures that preserve the details of the single crystals without distortion. The silica-infused microcrystals can be directly observed in the dry state, which allows meticulous analysis of the crystal facets and tomographic 3D reconstruction of the single crystals by high-resolution electron microscopy.

The label-free unambiguous detection and symbolic display of single nucleotide polymorphisms on DNA origami.

Project description:Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common genetic variation in the human genome. Kinetic methods based on branch migration have proved successful for detecting SNPs because a mispair inhibits the progress of branch migration in the direction of the mispair. We have combined the effectiveness of kinetic methods with atomic force microscopy of DNA origami patterns to produce a direct visual readout of the target nucleotide contained in the probe sequence. The origami contains graphical representations of the four nucleotide alphabetic characters, A, T, G and C, and the symbol containing the test nucleotide identity vanishes in the presence of the probe. The system also works with pairs of probes, corresponding to heterozygous diploid genomes.

Conformation of ring single-stranded DNA measured by DNA origami structures.

Project description:Measuring the mechanical properties of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is a complex challenge that has been addressed lately by different methods. We measured the persistence length of ring ssDNA using a combination of a special DNA origami structure, a self-avoiding ring polymer simulation model, and nonparametric estimation statistics. The method overcomes the complexities set forth by previously used methods. We designed the DNA origami nano structures and measured the ring ssDNA polymer conformations using atomic force microscopy. We then calculated their radius of gyration, which was used as a fitting parameter for finding the persistence length. As there is no simple formulation for the radius of gyration distribution, we developed a simulation program consisting of a self-avoiding ring polymer to fit the persistence length to the experimental data. ssDNA naturally forms stem-loops, which should be taken into account in fitting a model to the experimental measurement. To overcome that hurdle, we found the possible loops using minimal energy considerations and used them in our fitting procedure of the persistence length. Due to the statistical nature of the loops formation, we calculated the persistence length for different percentages of loops that are formed. In the range of 25-75% loop formation, we found the persistence length to be 1.9-4.4 nm, and for 50% loop formation we get a persistence length of 2.83 ± 0.63 nm. This estimation narrows the previously known persistence length and provides tools for finding the conformations of ssDNA.

Efficient Production of Single-Stranded Phage DNA as Scaffolds for DNA Origami.

Project description:Scaffolded DNA origami enables the fabrication of a variety of complex nanostructures that promise utility in diverse fields of application, ranging from biosensing over advanced therapeutics to metamaterials. The broad applicability of DNA origami as a material beyond the level of proof-of-concept studies critically depends, among other factors, on the availability of large amounts of pure single-stranded scaffold DNA. Here, we present a method for the efficient production of M13 bacteriophage-derived genomic DNA using high-cell-density fermentation of Escherichia coli in stirred-tank bioreactors. We achieve phage titers of up to 1.6 × 10(14) plaque-forming units per mL. Downstream processing yields up to 410 mg of high-quality single-stranded DNA per one liter reaction volume, thus upgrading DNA origami-based nanotechnology from the milligram to the gram scale.

DNA origami-based shape IDs for single-molecule nanomechanical genotyping.

Project description:Variations on DNA sequences profoundly affect how we develop diseases and respond to pathogens and drugs. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides a nanomechanical imaging approach for genetic analysis with nanometre resolution. However, unlike fluorescence imaging that has wavelength-specific fluorophores, the lack of shape-specific labels largely hampers widespread applications of AFM imaging. Here we report the development of a set of differentially shaped, highly hybridizable self-assembled DNA origami nanostructures serving as shape IDs for magnified nanomechanical imaging of single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Using these origami shape IDs, we directly genotype single molecules of human genomic DNA with an ultrahigh resolution of ∼10 nm and the multiplexing ability. Further, we determine three types of disease-associated, long-range haplotypes in samples from the Han Chinese population. Single-molecule analysis allows robust haplotyping even for samples with low labelling efficiency. We expect this generic shape ID-based nanomechanical approach to hold great potential in genetic analysis at the single-molecule level.

Fully addressable designer superstructures assembled from one single modular DNA origami.

Project description:DNA nanotechnology and especially the DNA origami method are primal tools to create precise nanoscale objects. For DNA origami, a long ssDNA scaffold strand is folded by a multitude of smaller staple strands into base-pair accurate shapes, allowing for precise modification and incorporation of guest molecules. However, DNA origami are limited in size, and thus is the area that can be controlled with nanoscale precision. Prior methods of creating larger assemblies were either costly or lacked structural control. Here, we incorporate two methods of modularity into one exemplary modular DNA origami (moDON). The modularity allows for the creation of over 50,000 diverse monomers and subsequently the assembly of a plethora of fully addressable designer superstructures while keeping the construction cost very low. The here-introduced methods for modularity in DNA origami design offer an efficient, cost-effective solution for constructing precisely organized, and fully addressable structures on a variety of scales.

Bench-Top Fabrication of Single-Molecule Nanoarrays by DNA Origami Placement.

Project description:Large-scale nanoarrays of single biomolecules enable high-throughput assays while unmasking the underlying heterogeneity within ensemble populations. Until recently, creating such grids which combine the advantages of microarrays and single-molecule experiments (SMEs) has been particularly challenging due to the mismatch between the size of these molecules and the resolution of top-down fabrication techniques. DNA origami placement (DOP) combines two powerful techniques to address this issue: (i) DNA origami, which provides a ∼100 nm self-assembled template for single-molecule organization with 5 nm resolution and (ii) top-down lithography, which patterns these DNA nanostructures, transforming them into functional nanodevices via large-scale integration with arbitrary substrates. Presently, this technique relies on state-of-the-art infrastructure and highly trained personnel, making it prohibitively expensive for researchers. Here, we introduce a cleanroom-free, $1 benchtop technique to create meso-to-macro-scale DNA origami nanoarrays using self-assembled colloidal nanoparticles, thereby circumventing the need for top-down fabrication. We report a maximum yield of 74%, 2-fold higher than the statistical limit of 37% imposed on non-specific molecular loading alternatives. Furthermore, we provide a proof-of-principle for the ability of this nanoarray platform to transform traditionally low-throughput, stochastic, single-molecule assays into high-throughput, deterministic ones, without compromising data quality. Our approach has the potential to democratize single-molecule nanoarrays and demonstrates their utility as a tool for biophysical assays and diagnostics.
