Abstract:
Simultaneous self-assembly of two distinct DNA origami nanostructures folded with the same scaffold strand was achieved in a single pot. Relative yields were tuned by adjusting concentrations of the competing strands, correlating well with folding kinetics of individual structures. These results can faciliate efficient fabrication of multi-structure systems and materials.

Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...
