DNA and RNA Origami: Methods and Protocols [Hardcover]

This volume detials diverse methodological approaches on the assembly and applications of DNA origami assemblies. Chapters guide readers through different synthetic and computational methods, isolation and structural characterization of 2D and 3D DNA origami nanoarchitectures,  nanophotonics, drug delivery, biophysics, and synthetic biology.Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 

Authoritative and cutting-edge, DNA and RNA Origami: Methods and Protocols aims to serve as a guideline describing the current state-of-the-art assembly methodologies and applications of DNA origami nanostructures.
