DNA Origami
Original DNA Origami


We confirmed that DNA origami structures weren't destroyed by environment of the bistable system.
Modified DNA Origami

AFM confirmed that the modified Origami with covers worked well (you can see lines in the Origami
Bistable System

This graph shows the status of the bistable system with time. In this graph, we tried to switch the state twice. As you can see, the first trial succeeded in reversing the concentration of X and V, changing the state. However, the second trial failed. We need to do more experiments to solve this problem.
