Abstract

We developed a new and simple angle control strategy to construct shape- and size-tunable DNA polygonal cavities. A monomer with a controlled slope on one end was used for hierarchical assembly into diverse polygons in a single step. Additionally, by simply moving the position of sticky ends on the monomer, the cavity size can be precisely programmed.
