what can you tell me about the first type?
Representation by a specific arrangement of nucleic acid strands.
DNA nanotechnology
The first step in designing a nucleic acid nanostructure is to decide how a given structure should be represented by a specific arrangement of nucleic acid strands. This design step determines the secondary structure, or the positions of the base pairs that hold the individual strands together in the desired shape. Several approaches have been demonstrated:
