Abstract:
1. A method of making a three-dimensional nucleic acid structure formed with a trimer comprising: combining a first, a second, and a third polynucleotide in a solution, wherein at least a portion of the first polynucleotide is complementary to at least a portion of the second polynucleotide, wherein at least a portion of the first polynucleotide is complementary to at least a portion of the third polynucleotide; and wherein at least a portion of the second polynucleotide is complementary to at least a portion of the third polynucleotide; and maintaining the solution at conditions effective for the first, second, and third polynucleotides to associate together to form a trimer, wherein each polynucleotide comprises a sticky end, wherein the sequence of each sticky end is non-complementary.
