- Design Rules -
To get it clear for myself (as a person without any prior knowledge about the steric hybridization properties of DNA), I tried to set up some simple, engineering point-of-view rules for designing a plain sheet of DNA.
- 2D DNA sheet of more or less arbitrary shape (click here)
Smart materials from DNA
For example by self-assembly of folded and connected DNA sheets, which will change their physical properties with environmental changes, e.g. pH. (click here)
Wafer level nano-resolution pattern transfer
To start from the very basics, produce a plane sheet, and a sheet that folds once. For double-checking possibilitiy, we included a step-height variation that should appear in the AFM image, and a correlation fluorescence dye.

The two folded sheet (click here)
Pattern transfer?? Lot's of different possibilities that we want to give a try. But first, we have to be able to produce the very basics. The story will be continued..!
