Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates generally to programming of biomolecular self-assembly pathways and related methods and constructs. A versatile nucleic acid hairpin motif for programming biomolecular self-assembly pathways for a wide variety of dynamic functions, reaction graphs for specifying pathways, and methods of using the hairpin motif are provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system for performing a dynamic function comprising: a first hairpin monomer comprising: a first domain comprising a first toehold and a first propagation region, wherein the first toehold is exposed such that it is available to hybridize to a portion of a first nucleic acid sequence complementary to the first domain, and wherein the first toehold is located at an end of the monomer; and a second domain comprising a second toehold and a second propagat…
