Summary

  • The construct folded correctly.
  • The cylinders dimerised correctly. The efficiency depends on the number of connections between the two cylinders
  • The container openes at low pH depending on the salt concentration.


Folding

As a first step, we designed the construct and looked for the best folding condition. We chose a cylindrical shape with a closed and an open end. [bild, cadnano file]

After some Experiments, we decided to use a MgCl2 concentration 0f 18 mM and an annealing time of 55 h. The pictures of the TEM show that the cylinders have the right shape and size. [tembild]

Dimerisation

We designed four different constructs: with 2,3,4 and 5 pairs of complementary strands. [bild]

More connection strands led to better dimerisation [gel]
