    <p class="paragraph">
    It is our goal for DNA nanostructure to kill a cell by forming a pore  like MAC in immune system. Therefore, we intended to design a DNA nanostructure which imitates its pore formation system by oligomerizaton. The designed structure is shown below, and this design is characterized with three features: a broad plane, bend of side edges and connectable sites.
    </p>
    <p class="paragraph">
    It requires enough free energy to penetrate membranes. By anchoring to the lipid bilayer by cholesterol modified staples, the DNA nanostructure is expected to get over the potential barrier. The more cholesterols are equipped to the structure, the more stabilized it stays near the membrane. A broad plane gives much cholesterol binding sites, so this feature is suited to penetrate membranes.
    </p>
    <p class="paragraph">
    From previous(Danilo D. Lasic, et al.) research <span class="ref-sup"><sup><a href="desref-1">[1]</a></sup></span>, it is suspected that DNA nonspecifically interacts with liposomes. Hence it seems the designed structure should not have any broad plane contactable to membrane undesirably, but that we thought we take advantage of this enforced interaction and can prevent undesirable connection to the membrane. So this broad plane do good rather than do harm.
    </p>
    <p class="paragraph">
    To oligomerize, the DNA nanostructure must have some binding site to each other. Though hybridization is used as the method of oligomerization in the figure, but we examine other method as well.
    </p>
    <br>
    <p class="paragraph">
    This general design with these features  are mainly derived from prediction, and were information necessary to design our nanostructure more specifically, for example,  we need to know about the interaction between DNA and liposome(as cell membrane) and develop assay. We simplyfied our general design, and made “Cylinder in barrel”. We did some experiments with “Cylinder in barrel” in advance to the more specific design.

    <p class="paragraph">
    To get reliable information, the design of  cylinder needs to be simple and realistic. We reffered to the past research (Martin Langecker et al.)<span class="ref-sup"><a href="#desref-2">[2]</a></span>and designed geometrical features.
    </p>
    <p class="paragraph">
The cylinder domain is about 65nm long(195bp) and consists of six dsDNA helixes, so its diameter is 6nm long. The barrel domain is approximately 43nm long(128bp) and 48 helixes builds this domain. Because the  part of the cylinder sticking out needs to penetrate lipid membranes, which is 2nm thick liposome used in experiments, the length of that part(about 20nm) is enough to go through lipid membranes. By covering the cylinder with barrel, this structure can be equiped with more cholesterols than that without barrels.</p>

    <br>
    <p class="paragraph">
    Because DNA has negative charge, the DNA nanorobots have to gain some energy to penetrate lipid membrane, which is composed of amphiphilic molecules. This problem is solved by binding cholesterols to the structures. The barrel domain has 26 staple strands complementary to cholesterol modified DNA oligo, and the oligomers are hybridized to these staples.The DNA structure anchors itself to membrane by cholesterols, and it gives stability for the structure to stay near membranes.Therefore, the structure can pierce lipid bilayer.

    Three different sequences of staples to hybridize cholesterol modified oligomers were prepared.
    </p>
    <p class="item">

1:CCTCTCACCCACCATTCATC (from previous research(Alexander johnson-Buck et al.<span class="ref-sup"><a href="#desref-3">[3]</a></span>))

    </p>
    <p class="item">

2:TAACAGGATTAGCAGAGCGAGG (from previous research(Martin Langecker et al.<span class="ref-sup"><a href="#desref-2">[2]</a></span>))

    </p>
    <p class="item">

3:GGAACTTCAGCCCAACTAACATTTT

    </p>
    <p class="noindent-paragraph">

They are different in the length of the hybridizing sequence. About cholesterol modified oligomers, their sequences are perfectly complementary to the three sequences above, and their 5' ends are modified by a cholesterol.

    </p>
    <p class="paragraph">

To achieve the purpose iii), the structure has binding site by hybridization. Two pairs of sequences were assigned for hybridization. Both are refered to previous work about logic-gated nanorobot of DNA(Shawn M. Douglas, et al.

    <span class="ref-sup"><a href="#desref-4">[4]</a></span>).
    They are derived from aptamer sequence,one is TE17, the other is sgc8c(and the complementary strands to these, so two pairs). These sequences were chosen because it is considered that these sequences don't prevent the folding of scaffold. The sequences of them are below:
    </p>

    <p class="item">1:TCTAACCGTACAGTATTTTCCCGGCGGCGCAGCAGTTAGA TT(sgc8c aptamer + TT)
    </p>
    <p class="item">2:TT CAGCACCCAGTCAGAAGCAGGTGTTCGGAGTTTTGTATTGCGTAGCTG(TT+ TE17 aptamer )
    </p>
    <p class="noindent-paragraph">
    Designed structures have either the aptamer sequences(1,2) or the two complementary strands(1,2). When two structures with different pairs are mixed and hybridization happens, these structures hence bind each other through two binding sites. Two types of binding sites were designed to test that the direction of connection can be controlled. One type of binding site uses staples sticking out from the ends of scaffolds. The other from near sites, but the direction in which staples stick out is controlled. It is intended to controll the direction of binding by the intereference between structure and hybridized aptamers.
    </p>

     Fluorescent materials are equipped 
     <br>by streptavidin-biotin interaction.
     </figcaption>
     </center>
    </figure>
    <br>
    <p class="paragraph">

To detect the cylinder piercing membrane, two biotin modified staple strands are out from its bottom. Streptavidins with fluoresence bind them in advance, and only the cylinders penetrating liposome are protected from protease when the cylinders are mixed with liposome. Therefore, it is possible to observe whether there are cylinders penetrating by their fluoresence.

    </p>
    <br>
    <p class="paragraph">

From the results of experiments with “Cylinder” we will decide our final design.
