Minimizing Structural Heterogeneity in DNA Self-Assembled Dye Templating via DNA Origami-Tuned Conformations. LANGMUIR : THE ACS JOURNAL OF SURFACES AND COLLOIDS 2024; 40:10195-10207. [PMID: 38690801 PMCID: PMC11100016 DOI: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c00470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
With recent advances in DNA-templated dye aggregation for leveraging and engineering molecular excitons, a need exists for minimizing structural heterogeneity. Holliday Junction complexes (HJ) are commonly used to covalently template dye aggregates on their core; however, the global conformation of HJ is detrimentally dynamic. Here, the global conformation of the HJ is selectively tuned by restricting its position and orientation by using a sheet-like DNA origami construct (DOC) physisorbed on glass. The HJ arms are fixed with four different designed interduplex angles (IDAs). Atomic force microscopy confirmed that the HJs are bound to the surface of DOC with tuned IDAs. Dye orientation distributions were determined by combining dipole imaging and super-resolution microscopy. All IDAs led to dye orientations having dispersed distributions along planes perpendicular to the HJ plane, suggesting that stacking occurred between the dye and the neighboring DNA bases. The dye-base stacking interpretation was supported by increasing the size of the core cavity. The narrowest IDA minimizes structural heterogeneity and suggests dye intercalation. A strong correlation is found between the IDA and the orientation of the dye along the HJ plane. These results show that the HJ imposes restrictions on the dye and that the dye-DNA interactions are always present regardless of global conformation. The implications of our results are discussed for the scalability of dye aggregates using DNA self-assembly. Our methodology provides an avenue for the solid-supported single-molecule characterization of molecular assemblies templated on biomolecules─such as DNA and protein templates involved in light-harvesting and catalysis─with tuned conformations and restricted in position and orientation.

Abstract
The progress of the scaffolded DNA origami technology has enabled the construction of various dynamic nanodevices imitating the shapes and motions of mechanical elements. To further expand the achievable configurational changes, the incorporation of multiple movable joints into a single DNA origami structure and their precise control are desired. Here, we propose a multi-reconfigurable 3 × 3 lattice structure consisting of nine frames with rigid four-helix struts connected with flexible 10-nucleotide joints. The configuration of each frame is determined by the arbitrarily selected orthogonal pair of signal DNAs, resulting in the transformation of the lattice into various shapes. We also demonstrated sequential reconfiguration of the nanolattice and its assemblies from one into another via an isothermal strand displacement reaction at physiological temperatures. Our modular and scalable design approach could serve as a versatile platform for a variety of applications that require reversible and continuous shape control with nanoscale precision.

Abstract
Flowing fluid past chiral objects has been used for centuries to power rotary motion in man-made machines. By contrast, rotary motion in nanoscale biological or chemical systems is produced by biasing Brownian motion through cyclic chemical reactions. Here we show that a chiral biological molecule, a DNA or RNA duplex rotates unidirectionally at billions of revolutions per minute when an electric field is applied along the duplex, with the rotation direction being determined by the chirality of the duplex. The rotation is found to be powered by the drag force of the electro-osmotic flow, realizing the operating principle of a macroscopic turbine at the nanoscale. The resulting torques are sufficient to power rotation of nanoscale beads and rods, offering an engineering principle for constructing nanoscale systems powered by electric field.

Abstract
Control over multiple optical elements that can be dynamically rearranged to yield substantial three-dimensional structural transformations is of great importance to realize reconfigurable plasmonic nanoarchitectures with sensitive and distinct optical feedback. In this work, we demonstrate a transformable plasmonic helix system, in which multiple gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can be directly transported by DNA swingarms to target positions without undergoing consecutive stepwise movements. The swingarms allow for programmable AuNP translocations in large leaps within plasmonic nanoarchitectures, giving rise to tailored circular dichroism spectra. Our work provides an instructive bottom-up solution to building complex dynamic plasmonic systems, which can exhibit prominent optical responses through cooperative rearrangements of the constituent optical elements with high fidelity and programmability.

Abstract
Biomolecular nanomechanical devices are of great interest as tools for the processing and manipulation of molecules, thereby mimicking the function of nature's enzymes. DNA nanotechnology provides the capability to build molecular analogs of mechanical machine elements such as joints and hinges via sequence-programmable self-assembly, which are otherwise known from traditional mechanical engineering. Relative to their size, these molecular machine elements typically do not reach the same relative precision and reproducibility that we know from their macroscopic counterparts; however, as they are scaled down to molecular sizes, physical effects typically not considered by mechanical engineers such as Brownian motion, intramolecular forces, and the molecular roughness of the devices begin to dominate their behavior. In order to investigate the effect of different design choices on the roughness of the mechanical energy landscapes of DNA nanodevices in greater detail, we here study an exemplary DNA origami-based structure, a modularly designed rotor-stator arrangement, which resembles a rotatable nanorobotic arm. Using fluorescence tracking microscopy, we follow the motion of individual rotors and record their corresponding energy landscapes. We then utilize the modular construction of the device to exchange its constituent parts individually and systematically test the effect of different design variants on the movement patterns. This allows us to identify the design parameters that most strongly affect the shape of the energy landscapes of the systems. Taking into account these insights, we are able to create devices with significantly flatter energy landscapes, which translates to mechanical nanodevices with improved performance and behaviors more closely resembling those of their macroscopic counterparts.

Abstract
Artificial molecular machines have found widespread applications ranging from fundamental studies to biomedicine. More recent advances in exploiting unique physical and chemical properties of DNA have led to the development of DNA-based artificial molecular machines. The unprecedented programmability of DNA provides a powerful means to design complex and sophisticated DNA-based molecular machines that can exert mechanical force or motion to realize complex tasks in a controllable, modular fashion. This Perspective highlights the potential and strategies to construct artificial molecular machines using double-stranded DNA, functional nucleic acids, and DNA frameworks, which enable improved control over reaction pathways and motion behaviors. We also outline the challenges and opportunities of using DNA-based molecular machines for biophysics, biosensing, and biocomputing.

Abstract
The bacterial flagellar motor is a rotary machine composed of functional modular components, which can perform bidirectional rotations to control the migration behavior of the bacterial cell. It resembles a two-cogwheel gear system, which consists of small and large cogwheels with cogs at the edges to regulate rotations. Such gearset models provide elegant blueprints to design and build artificial nanomachinery with desired functionalities. In this work, we demonstrate DNA assembly of a structurally well-defined nanodevice, which can carry out programmable rotations powered by DNA fuels. Our rotary nanodevice consists of three modular components, small origami ring, large origami ring, and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). They mimic the sun gear, ring gear, and planet gears in a planetary gearset accordingly. These modular components are self-assembled in a compact manner, such that they can work cooperatively to impart bidirectional rotations. The rotary dynamics is optically recorded using fluorescence spectroscopy in real time, given the sensitive distance-dependent interactions between the tethered fluorophores and AuNPs on the rings. The experimental results are well supported by the theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Designing a structure in nanoscale with desired shape and properties has been enabled by structural DNA nanotechnology. Design strategies in this research field have evolved to interpret various aspects of increasingly more complex nanoscale assembly and to realize molecular-level functionality by exploring static to dynamic characteristics of the target structure. Computational tools have naturally been of significant interest as they are essential to achieve a fine control over both shape and physicochemical properties of the structure. Here, we review the basic design principles of structural DNA nanotechnology together with its computational analysis and design tools.

Abstract
In living organisms, proteins are organized prevalently through a self-association mechanism to form dimers and oligomers, which often confer new functions at the intermolecular interfaces. Despite the progress on DNA-assembled artificial systems, endeavors have been largely paid to achieve monomeric nanostructures that mimic motor proteins for a single type of motion. Here, we demonstrate a DNA-assembled building block with rotary and walking modules, which can introduce new motion through dimerization and oligomerization. The building block is a chiral system, comprising two interacting gold nanorods to perform rotation and walking, respectively. Through dimerization, two building blocks can form a dimer to yield coordinated sliding. Further oligomerization leads to higher-order structures, containing alternating rotation and sliding dimer interfaces to impose structural twisting. Our hierarchical assembly scheme offers a design blueprint to construct DNA-assembled advanced architectures with high degrees of freedom to tailor the optical responses and regulate multi-motion on the nanoscale. Creation of high-order architectures using DNA devices is of interest for increasing the complexity of synthetic systems. Here, the authors, inspired by biological oligomers, create DNA dimers and oligomers that combining rotation and walking to make high-order systems with more complex conformational changes.

Abstract
Nanomechanical devices are becoming increasingly popular due to the very diverse field of potential applications, including nanocomputing, robotics, and drug delivery. DNA is one of the most promising building materials to realize complex 3D structures at the nanoscale level. Several mechanical DNA origami structures have already been designed capable of simple operations such as a DNA box with a controllable lid, bipedal walkers, and cargo sorting robots. However, the nanomechanical properties of mechanically interlinked DNA nanostructures that are in general highly deformable have yet to be extensively experimentally evaluated. In this work, a multicomponent DNA origami-based rotor is created and fully characterized by electron microscopy under negative stain and cryo preparations. The nanodevice is further immobilized on a microfluidic chamber and its Brownian and flow-driven rotational behaviors are analyzed in real time by single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. The rotation in previous DNA rotors based either on strand displacement, electric field or Brownian motion. This study is the first to attempt to manipulate the dynamics of an artificial nanodevice with fluidic flow as a natural force.

Abstract
Making use of the programmability and structural flexibility of the DNA molecule, a DNA-origami nanoarm capable of undergoing large deformation is constructed. This DNA-origami nanoarm comprised serially repeated tension-adjustable modules, the cumulative actuation of which resulted in a large deformation of the arm structure, which transformed from a linear shape into an arched shape. Combining atomic force microscopy and theoretical analyses based on the mechanics of materials, we demonstrate that the degree of deformation can be systematically controlled by merely replacing a set of strands that is required for the actuation of the module. Moreover, by employing a G-quadruplex-forming sequence for the actuation, we could achieve reversible ion-induced contraction and relaxation of the nanoarm. The adjustability and scalability of this design could enable the production of DNA nanodevices that exhibit large deformation in response to external stimuli.

Abstract
Dynamic DNA nanotechnology, a subfield of DNA nanotechnology, is concerned with the study and application of nucleic acid strand-displacement reactions. Strand-displacement reactions generally proceed by three-way or four-way branch migration and initially were investigated for their relevance to genetic recombination. Through the use of toeholds, which are single-stranded segments of DNA to which an invader strand can bind to initiate branch migration, the rate with which strand displacement reactions proceed can be varied by more than 6 orders of magnitude. In addition, the use of toeholds enables the construction of enzyme-free DNA reaction networks exhibiting complex dynamical behavior. A demonstration of this was provided in the year 2000, in which strand displacement reactions were employed to drive a DNA-based nanomachine (Yurke, B.; et al. Nature 2000, 406, 605-608). Since then, toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions have been used with ever increasing sophistication and the field of dynamic DNA nanotechnology has grown exponentially. Besides molecular machines, the field has produced enzyme-free catalytic systems, all DNA chemical oscillators and the most complex molecular computers yet devised. Enzyme-free catalytic systems can function as chemical amplifiers and as such have received considerable attention for sensing and detection applications in chemistry and medical diagnostics. Strand-displacement reactions have been combined with other enzymatically driven processes and have also been employed within living cells (Groves, B.; et al. Nat. Nanotechnol. 2015, 11, 287-294). Strand-displacement principles have also been applied in synthetic biology to enable artificial gene regulation and computation in bacteria. Given the enormous progress of dynamic DNA nanotechnology over the past years, the field now seems poised for practical application.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology provides an excellent foundation for diverse nanoscale structures that can be used in various bioapplications and materials research. Among all existing DNA assembly techniques, DNA origami proves to be the most robust one for creating custom nanoshapes. Since its invention in 2006, building from the bottom up using DNA advanced drastically, and therefore, more and more complex DNA-based systems became accessible. So far, the vast majority of the demonstrated DNA origami frameworks are static by nature; however, there also exist dynamic DNA origami devices that are increasingly coming into view. In this review, we discuss DNA origami nanostructures that exhibit controlled translational or rotational movement when triggered by predefined DNA sequences, various molecular interactions, and/or external stimuli such as light, pH, temperature, and electromagnetic fields. The rapid evolution of such dynamic DNA origami tools will undoubtedly have a significant impact on molecular-scale precision measurements, targeted drug delivery and diagnostics; however, they can also play a role in the development of optical/plasmonic sensors, nanophotonic devices, and nanorobotics for numerous different tasks.

Abstract
The use of dynamic, self-assembled DNA nanostructures in the context of nanorobotics requires fast and reliable actuation mechanisms. We therefore created a 55-nanometer-by-55-nanometer DNA-based molecular platform with an integrated robotic arm of length 25 nanometers, which can be extended to more than 400 nanometers and actuated with externally applied electrical fields. Precise, computer-controlled switching of the arm between arbitrary positions on the platform can be achieved within milliseconds, as demonstrated with single-pair Förster resonance energy transfer experiments and fluorescence microscopy. The arm can be used for electrically driven transport of molecules or nanoparticles over tens of nanometers, which is useful for the control of photonic and plasmonic processes. Application of piconewton forces by the robot arm is demonstrated in force-induced DNA duplex melting experiments.

Abstract
DNA tetrahedron as the simplest 3D DNA nanostructure has been applied widely in biomedicine and biosensing. Herein, we design and fabricate a series of circular assemblies of DNA tetrahedron with high purity and decent yields. These circular nanostructures are confirmed by endonuclease digestion, gel electrophoresis and atomic force microscopy. Inspired by rotary protein motor, we demonstrate these circular architectures can serve as a stator for a rotary DNA motor to achieve the circular rotation. The DNA motor can rotate on the stators for several cycles, and the locomotion of the motor is monitored by the real-time fluorescent measurements.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures (DN) are powerful platforms for the programmable assembly of nanomaterials. As applications for DN both as a structural material and as a support for functional biomolecular sensing systems develop, methods enabling the determination of reaction kinetics in real time become increasingly important. In this report, we present a study of the kinetics of streptavidin binding onto biotinylated DN constructs enabled by these planar structures. High-speed AFM was employed at a 2.5 frame/s rate to evaluate the kinetics and indicates that the binding fully saturates in less than 60 s. When the the data was fitted with an adsorption-limited kinetic model, a forward rate constant of 5.03 × 105 s-1 was found.
