This study demonstrates the formation of planar 2D lattices and tubular structures in DNA nanostructures by designing different tile cores and varying inter-tile distances. By using streptavidin and biotin labeling techniques, the inside and outside surfaces of the tubes can be characterized to determine the tile conformation with addressable faces. Integration of the intrinsic curvature of the tiles with arm twist allows the generation of DNA tubes with right- or left-handed chirality.
The overwinding and underwinding of DNA duplexes between junctions have been used in designing left- and right-handed DNA origami nanostructures, respectively. For DNA tubes obtained from self-assembled tiles, only a theoretical approach of the intrinsic curvature of the tiles has been previously used to explain their formation. Details regarding the quantitative and structural descriptions of the tile's intrinsic curvature in DNA nanostructures have so far never been addressed. In this work, we designed three types of tile cores built around a circular scaffold using three- and four-branched junctions. Joining the tile cores with arms having two kinds of inter-tile distances, an odd and an even number of DNA half-turns, tended to form planar 2D lattices and tubes, respectively. Streptavidin bound to biotin was used as a labeling technique to characterize the inside and outside surfaces of the tubes and thereby the tile conformation of dihedrals with addressable faces. DNA tubes with either right- or left-handed chirality were obtained by the coupling of the intrinsic curvature of the tiles with the arm twist. We were able to assign the chiral indices (n,m) to a tube with its structure resolved by AFM at the single-tile level and therefore to estimate the global curvature of the tube (or its component tile) using a regular polygon model that approximated its transverse section. A deeper understanding of the integrated actions of different types of twisting forces on DNA tubes will be extremely helpful in engineering more elaborate DNA nanostructures in the future.
