DNA ORIGAMI: A precise Measuring Tool for Optimal Antibody Effectiveness: Researchers at University of Oslo have created a DNA origami, or a DNA-based design of precise nanostructures, to judge the most accurate distance from heavily packed antigens to get the tightest bond to antibodies within the immune system. DNA origami is a technique for building different shaped molecules out of the four standard nucleotide bases. Various forms can be constructed, such as tubes, pyramids, and cubes and the shapes of these molecules can significantly affect their functionality. Using DNA Origami- DNA-based design of precise ....
