This is exactly why I’ve made this little tutorial. When folded, it looks like this:
Bird Base

After countless hours of hard work I hereby present my first diagram! I made it using Inkscape for vectoring and Photoshop for everything else. I didn’t actually expect that diagramming even the simplest models is so slow(and dull). Taking some pictures while folding is much, much faster, and require almost no specific post-processing. I have a very simple action set in Photoshop which I use to batch process all of the images, rarely tweaking some of them after. Since this is my very first...Read Full Story

(PhysOrg.com) -- DNA is not merely a carrier of genetic information; DNA is a useful building material for nanoscale structures. In a way similar to origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, a long single strand of DNA can be folded into nearly any three-dimensional shape desired with the use of short DNA fragments. The DNA nanostructure can also be equipped with specific docking sites for proteins. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a team...
