DNA Origami: Research & Study Resources for Trapping & Folding Processes

[sudu.ghonge]

I'm working on a project in the field of DNA origami and need links to research papers and study content for the trapping processes and folding processes. Can anyone help?

... Not the sort of help i expected. Incase this post was ignored because other fresh posts coming, this is just to bring it up again. Please, I need help.

I wrote a paper on DNA topology for genetics a couple years ago, so I can offer some references. Not sure how applicable they are to what you're looking for, but it's something. 5 and 9 should describe the folding processes and how they construct them.

As a fellow scientist in the field of DNA origami, I would be happy to provide you with some resources to aid in your project. First, I would recommend searching through reputable scientific databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for research papers on DNA origami trapping and folding processes. These databases contain a vast collection of peer-reviewed articles that can provide valuable insights and techniques for your project.

Additionally, I would suggest looking into journals that specifically focus on DNA origami, such as Nature Nanotechnology, ACS Nano, and Nano Letters. These journals often publish cutting-edge research on DNA origami and can provide a wealth of information on trapping and folding processes.

You may also want to consider attending conferences or workshops on DNA origami, as these events often feature presentations and discussions on the latest research and techniques in the field. This can be a great opportunity to network with other scientists and potentially find collaborators for your project.

Finally, I would recommend reaching out to experts in the field of DNA origami for guidance and advice. They may be able to provide you with valuable resources and insights based on their own experiences and research.

I hope these suggestions will be helpful in your project and I wish you the best of luck in your research on DNA origami trapping and folding processes.
