Folding Reaction
A folding reaction is a mixture containing scaffold DNA, staple DNA, water, a buffer mastermix, and magnesium ions. The folding involves subjecting the sample mixture to thermal denaturation followed by renaturing. We will usually have the folding reactions occur in PCR strip tubes of either 50-100 μL aliquots.
Pre-stocks
The pre-stock is a pool of oligonucleotides that contain specific components of the origami structure. They are therefore sub-sets to the intended structure. We divide the staples into specific pre-stocks so that in the event we change a specific component to the origami structure, then only that single working stock will need to be changed. Here is an example pipetting guide that is used to prepare the pre-stocks. This guide includes from what plate and range of wells the staples were taken from, the name of the pre-stock, the number of oligos, their associated concentration, and what element of the structure the pre-stock is part of.
| index | plate | from well | to well | name | no of oligos | conc.(μM) | element |

Working stocks
After pipetting the pre-stocks (hint: use multi-channel pipette) we will now take aliquots from each pre-stock to form the working stock. Here is an example sheet used.
