摘要

The bending and twisting of DNA origami structures are important features for controlling the physical properties of DNA nanodevices. It has not been fully explored yet how to finely tune the bending and twisting of curved DNA structures. Traditional tuning of the curved DNA structures was limited to controlling the in-plane-bending angle through varying the numbers of base pairs of deletions and insertions. Here, we developed two tuning strategies of curved DNA origami structures from in silico and in vitro aspects. In silico, the out-of-plane bending and twisting angles of curved structures were introduced, and were tuned through varying the patterns of base pair deletions and insertions. In vitro, a chemical adduct (ethidium bromide) was applied to dynamically tune a curved spiral. The 3D structural conformations, like chirality, of the curved DNA structures were finely tuned through these two strategies. The simulation and TEM results demonstrated that the patterns of base pair insertions and deletions and chemical adducts could effectively tune the bending and twisting of curved DNA origami structures. These strategies expand the programmable accuracy of curved DNA origami structures and have potential in building efficient dynamic functional nanodevices.
