Folding DNA into Twisted and Curved Nanoscale Shapes(Hendrik Dietz,1,2* Shawn M. Douglas,1,2,3 William M. Shih1,2,3†)

• Design principles

1. Every 7 base pairs (bp), the helical path of a strand rotates by 240° - a B-form–DNA
2. deletion of a base pair - a left-handed torque and a pull on its neighbors
3. insertion of a base pair - a right-handed torque and a push on its neighbors

• the pattern of insertions and deletions installed to induce bending.
