    With the condition of cholesterol +/ liposome+, the peak fraction was No.3, which coinced with peak fraction of liposome. In contrast, lacking of cholesterol or liposome, OCK exist mainly in fraction No.2.

As the peak fraction of OCK shifted from fraction No.2 to No.3, with the attachment of cholesterol and existence of liposome, we concluded that OCK stack in liposome.

      We did pilot study of oligomerization process triggered by membrane
      protein recognition. We used cholesterol modified PDGF as model membrane
      protein, as DNA origami embedded aptamer system recognizing PDGF was
      reported (Douglass et al. (2012)).

     Our simplified model lock system is consisted with two steps: 1)

> Blocking of streptavidin binding to biotin by steric hindrance. Our lock > system consists of two strands: biotin attached strands (biotin strands) > and aptamer attached strands (aptamer strands). These two strands > hybridize each other in inactive form and hide biotin moiety from the > streptavidin by steric hindrance effect. 2) Upon binding of ligands > (PDGF in this study) to aptamer strands, the complementary strand(biotin > strands) is released from the DNA aptamer, because ligands take over the > DNA strands of DNA aptamer from the complementally strands, and biotin > can now bind to streptavidin. Therefore, the cancer cell recognition and > OCK oligomerization are achieved simultaneously in the future study.

We confirmed the blocking capability of our lock system for streptavidin binding (left figure, the image of gel electrophoresis). Our lock system consists of two strands: biotin attached strands (biotin strands) and aptamer attached strands (aptamer strands). These two strands hybridize each other in inactive form and hide biotin moiety from the streptavidin by steric hindrance effect. We confirmed this blocking capability by mixing Cy3 labeled streptavidin with lock system embedded rect-tile. Data indicates that the slight blocking capability upon shorten the polyT linker between aptamer sequence and staple sequence. Recently, we tried other sequence and have better results, which may be presented in the Jamboree in Boston. <br>

Next, we optimize the embedding condition of our lock system into rect-tile. This time full length of biotin strands were used instead of truncated ones used in above figure. Data indicate that the integrate efficiency of both biotin strands and aptamer strands into rect-tile is independent on the incubate temperature.

We improve our lock system everyday. Don't miss our presentation in Jaboree in Boston !

We add accelerator, which can work as a scaffold and make alkyne and azide reactive group close. Acceleration of the click reaction was observed. In other words, azide and alkyne reactive groups do not react each other in solution, but easy to react each other after proximally-positioned. This character is very suitable to prevent non-specific oligomerization, while accelerating the specific oligomerization in OCK. </p> <p class ="paragraph"> Note: Streptavidin has 4 identical subunits. So we can not control the binding order of alkyne and azide oligo with streptavidin method. Therefore, vicinity subunit may have identical reactive groups (e.g. alkyne-alkyne or azide-azide, instead of alkyne-azide or azide-alkyne), and may reduce the yield. </p>
