Virtual colloquium: Single-molecule detection and identification via DNA nanotechnology
June 16, 2021
Fermilab
DNA origami, in which a long scaffold strand is assembled with a large number of short staple strands into parallel arrays of double helices, has proven a powerful method for custom nanofabrication of shapes up to 100 nm in size. Speaker William Shih of Harvard will discuss a strategy, crisscross ultracooperative assembly, that combines all-or-nothing scaffold-dependent initiation of folding with scaffold-independent growth, therefore allowing for sizes unbounded by the length of the scaffold. A major application will be digital counting of molecular analytes.
Virtual event: Celebrating 75 Years at Argonne National Laboratory: Supercomputers and X-rays
