摘要
En 中文
Customizable nanostructures built through the DNA-origami technique hold tremendous promise in nanomaterial fabrication and biotechnology. Despite the cutting-edge tools for DNA-origami design and preparation, it remains challenging to separate structural components of an architecture built from-thus held together by-a continuous scaffold strand, which in turn limits the modularity and function of the DNA-origami devices. To address this challenge, here we present an enzymatic method to clean up and reconfigure DNA-origami structures. We target single-stranded (ss) regions of DNA-origami structures and remove them with CRISPR-Cas12a, a hyper-active ssDNA endonuclease without sequence specificity. We demonstrate the utility of this facile, selective post-processing method on DNA structures with various geometrical and mechanical properties, realizing intricate structures and structural transformations that were previously difficult to engineer. Given the biocompatibility of Cas12a-like enzymes, this versatile tool may be programmed in the future to operate functional nanodevices in cells.
