Abstract
- Tile-based DNA self-assembly is a powerful approach for nano-constructions. In this approach, individual DNA single strands first assemble into well-defined structural tiles, which, then, further associate with each other into final nanostructures. It is a general assumption that the lower-level structures (tiles) determine the higher-level, final structures. In this study, we present concrete experimental data to show that higher-level structures could, at least in the current example, also impact on the formation of lower-level structures. This study prompts questions such as: how general is this phenomenon in programmed DNA self-assembly and can we turn it into a useful tool for fine tuning DNA self-assembly?
