The project: DNA Folding
ProjectsNo.1 - The Pipe The idea is to design a strand of DNA such that it wraps into a specific shape.
Pipe Sketches
The DNA sequence for the Pipes design can be found [http://omnibus.uni-freiburg.de/~kouznet/pipe/Tube-M13mp18-NEB-d.txt here], design picture is [http://omnibus.uni-freiburg.de/~kouznet/pipe/pip6.jpg here], the set of staples is [http://omnibus.uni-freiburg.de/~kouznet/pipe/StapleTube.txt here]. We’ll put the AFM pictures on the wiki as soon as we receive the DNA from the company... No.2 - Haute Couture: Barbie Nanoatelier Once the process of DNA folding into 3D structures is understood, shapes can be chosen arbitrarily. The idea of the Barbie Nanoatelier is that the DNA should wrap into a 3D T-Shirt, 3D Pants, etc. We need a library of molecular primitives that could be interchanged in the desirable way for a bottom-up design on the nanometer scale. Registry of DNA molecular parts and standardization is an actual question of bionanotechnology. We just put first examples of ORIGAMI BioBriks into [http://partsregistry.org/cgi/partsdb/pgroup.cgi?pgroup=iGEM2006partsregistry.org/cgi/partsdb/pgroup.cgi?pgroup=iGEM2006&group=Freiburg depository] and publish basic ideas [http://omnibus.uni-freiburg.de/~kouznet/DNA-plug.txt], [http://omnibus.uni-freiburg.de/~kouznet/T-shirt.txt], [http://omnibus.uni-freiburg.de/~kouznet/DNA-NanoSwarm.txt]. We also try to pump some aesthetic principles and rules (symmetry, periodic patterns, and recursion) into our creatures. We like it because it needs a huge of imagination and really very difficult. Nobody can build a bra!
Scetches - T-Shirt
 The DNA sequence for the T-Shirt design can be found [http://omnibus.uni-freiburg.de/~kouznet/t-shirt/T-shirt_M13mp18_NEB_d.txt here], the picture is [http://omnibus.uni-freiburg.de/~kouznet/t-shirt/T-shirt.jpg here], and the staples are [http://omnibus.uni-freiburg.de/~kouznet/t-shirt/T-shirt_staples.txt here] there. Hey, venture capitalists, where are you? The price of all of 50 billion T-Shirts would be only 7200bases x €0.17/base = €1224. Don’t miss the chance. It could be a great business tomorrow!
No.3 - Individual projectsOther projects and prices could be found on individual Mutant's pages. In addition, you can find some hot information on ‘GEM Freiburg Fellow 2006’ page.
