Abstract
We present “Molecular NINJA”, which is based on Stojanovic's molecular spider but crawls along a ditch formed between two DNA origami motifs. Usual molecular walker walks on the surface of DNA scaffold, but it may be suffered from physical tapping by AFM probe. So we designed a DNA origami which has a ditch that the molecular NINJA can hide in and guides its route.
Stage
Stage was designed as shown in fig. 1. This stage is assumed as two islands floated on the marsh and a bridge which links between two islands. So the molecular robot must goes to the goal by a roundabout route or making new scaffolds. We designed that two islands size are diverse to distinguish start from goal.
