Stage

First, We constructed the stage and the result is shown in Fig. 6 (a). As you can see, the stage was successfully constructed. But most stages make complexes by blunt-end π–π stacking interactions as shown in Fig. 7. To suppress making complexes, thymine spacers were inserted in staple DNAs which is located at side of the stage.

Next, we tried to construct the convex DNA origami and the result is shown in Fig. 6 (b). Convex DNA origami was successfully constructed.
