BACKGROUND

The organization of nanoscale objects of various types
into well-defined 3D arrays can transform nanoscale-syn-
thesis into targeted material fabrication. Self-assembly of
nanoscale objects into a system organization (lattice) can use
both inter-object interactions and an object’s specific shape
in order to achieve a particular system organization. DNA
can be a polymer capable of defining structural organization
at small scales while being precisely programmable, mean-
ing that it can target specific particles and materials to use in
the self-assembly process.

However, certain methods cannot achieve desired lattices
independent of specific nanoscale objects because of a
coupling between the properties of the particles used and the
resulting lattice. Even certain techniques using DNA cannot
decouple particles from the assembly structure. As a result,
such techniques require unique solutions, since each result-

ing structure relies on the interactions between the 5

assembled particles and the underlying organizational struc-
ture.

Therefore, there is a need for self-assembly platforms that
can be created independent of the nanoscale objects con-
tained in the resulting lattice and which can assemble lattices
using nanoscale objects of different natures.

SUMMARY

The disclosed subject matter provides techniques for
organizing an object into a three-dimensional (3D) array
using a voxel. The 3D array can contain an organic, an
inorganic, a protein, an enzyme, or combinations thereof
inside of the voxel.

In certain embodiments, the disclosed subject matter
provides a voxel that can include a plurality of frames
including at least one single-stranded (ss) DNA motif with

0

a

30

2

at least one free base. In non-limiting embodiments, the
ssDNA motif can hybridize with a complementary strand
fragment of other frames.

In certain embodiments, the plurality of frames can
include stand-alone DNA frames, polyhedral frames, or a
combination thereof. In non-limiting embodiments, the plu-
rality of frames can form a tetrahedra framework, an octa-
hedra framework, a cubic framework, or a combination
thereof.

In certain embodiments, the voxel can include at least one
object in the voxel. In non-limiting embodiments, the object
can include a gold nanoparticle, a streptavidin, a protein, a
quantum dot (QD), an enzyme, or a combination thereof. In
some embodiments, the object can include a metallic par-
ticle, a semiconductor particle, a protein superlattice, or
combinations thereof. In non-limiting embodiments, the
object can be a functionalized object.

In certain embodiments, the voxel can form a three-
dimensional (3D) origami lattice. The 3D origami lattice can
be a body-centered-cubic (BCC) lattice, a simple cubic (SC)
lattice, or a cubic diamond lattice. In non-limiting embodi-
ments, the voxel can be a DNA-prescribed voxel. In some
embodiments, the voxel can be a valence-controlled voxel.

The disclosed subject matter provides a method for orga-
nizing an object into a three-dimensional (3D) array. The
method can include creating a voxel that can include a
plurality of frames by hybridizing at least one single-
stranded (ss) DNA motif with at least one complementary
strand fragment of the plurality of frames and inserting the
object into the voxel by mixing the object and the voxel in
a predetermined ratio. In non-limiting embodiments, the
predetermined ratio between the object and the voxel is from
about 1:1 to about 30:1.

In certain embodiments, the plurality of frames can
include stand-alone DNA frames, polyhedral frames, or a
combination thereof. In non-limiting embodiments, the plu-
rality of frames can form a tetrahedra framework, an octa-

4p hedra framework, a cubic framework, or a combination

B

thereof.

In certain embodiments, the method can further include
annealing the voxel to form a lattice. The lattice can be a
three-dimensional (3D) origami lattice. In non-limiting
embodiments, the 3D origami lattice can be a body-cen-
tered-cubic (BCC) lattice, a simple cubic (SC) lattice, or a
cubic diamond lattice.

In certain embodiments, the method can further include
functionalizing the object. In non-limiting embodiments, the
functionalized object can be an inorganic object, a bio-
organic object, an enzyme, and combinations thereof.

The presently disclosed subject matter will be further
described below.

description and the following detailed description are exem-

disclosed subject matter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The disclosed subject matter provides techniques for
organizing an object into a three-dimensional (3D) array
using a voxel. The disclosed subject matter can be used for
inorganic and bio-organic components of different intrinsic
properties and shapes for organizing the components into the
3D array. The disclosed subject matter can also be used for
creating light-emitting 3D arrays with diffraction-limited
spectral purity, 3D enzymatic arrays, metamaterials, infor-
mation storage devices, and combinations thereof.

In certain embodiments, the disclosed subject matter
provides a voxel that can include a plurality of frames. As
shown in FIG. 1, the voxel 101 can be a block that can have
a valence determined by the vertices of the frame 102. The
voxel 101 can be an elementary volumetric block carrying
material property and its binding characteristics fully deter-
mined by frame shape that can lead to a 3D nanomaterial
lattice 103. In non-limiting embodiments, the voxel can be
a valence-controlled voxel. In some embodiments, the voxel
can be a DNA-prescribed voxel. A DNA voxel can include
a designed DNA object of specific shape (e.g., polyhedral
frames, or container-like object) that can carry nanoscale
cargo (e.g., nanoparticles, proteins, and enzymes). The DNA
voxel can be empty or carry a nanoscale cargo. A valence-

Page 85

controlled voxel can have a prescribed number of binding
regions at the prescribed location (e.g., at vertices). It can be
in any desired location. In this way, a voxel valence can
provide number and directionality for specific connectivity
with other voxels. The location of binding regions can be full
designed and even re-programmed for the same DNA object.

In certain embodiments, the plurality of frames can
include at least one single-stranded (ss) DNA motif with at
least one free base. The ss DNA motif can hybridize with a
complementary strand fragment of other frames to form an
inter-frame hybridization. For example, the plurality of
frames can form an inter-frame hybridization via vertex-to-
vertex hybridization. The hybridized frames can provide
improved control over interactions encoding, energetics, and
flexibility of interframe linkages. In non-limiting embodi-
ments, the frame can possess a spatially determined valence
(v) defined by its shape. The inter-frame hybridization can
form an assembly with the ability to form an ordered lattice,
whose type can be determined by the frame valence. In some
embodiments, the plurality of frames can include stand-
alone DNA frames, polyhedral frames, or a combination
thereof. In non-limiting embodiments, the plurality of
frames can include a frame where certain faces can be solid
walls or spherical DNA objects with arbitrarily program-
mable valences.

In certain embodiments, the plurality of frames can form
a tetrahedra framework, an octahedra framework, a cubic
framework, or a combination thereof. For example, the
plurality of frames can be hybridized to form a tetrahedra
framework, an octahedra framework, a cubic framework, or
a combination thereof.

In certain embodiments, the voxel can form a three-
dimensional (3D) origami lattice. For example, the voxel
can form a body-centered-cubic (BCC) lattice, a simple
cubic (SC) lattice, or a cubic diamond lattice. In non-
limiting embodiments, the 3D origami lattices can be
formed from octahedral frames containing twelve 6-helix-
bundle edges. The lattices formed from the octahedral frame
can have a valence of 6 (v=6). The edge length of the lattices
formed from the octahedral frame can be less than about 30
nm. In some embodiments, the edge length of the lattices
formed from the octahedral frame can be from about 20m,
to about 100 nm. In non-limiting embodiments, the voxel
can form a 2D lattices with different square patterns includ-
ing honeycomb, stacked hexagonal, and/or tetragonal lat-
tices.

Each octahedron vertex (OB) can incorporate single-
stranded (ss) DNA motifs with at least one free base. This
construction can allow the hybridization of nucleotides with

complementary strand fragments on another octahedron 5

(OR). The vertex-driven 6-fold octahedral valency can yield
ordered assemblies through vertex-to-vertex hybridization
of frames. For example, the octahedral frame assemblies
(e.g., with 22 complementary bases, 22 bases in first respec-
tive polyT domains, and 8 bases in second respective polyT
domains) can form a well-ordered simple cubic (SC) lattice
with 15 orders of resolution-limited Bragg peaks. In non-
limiting embodiments, the size of the SC lattice can be up to
about 200 jum, up to about 150 jum, up to about 100 um, up
to about 50 jum, up to about 25 um, up to about 10 ym, up
to about 5 jum, up to about 3 jum, up to about 2 jum, or up to
about 1 um. For example, the size of the SC lattice can be
from about 150 jum to about 200 um or from about 3 um to
about 5 uum.

In certain embodiments, the voxel can include at least one
object 104. The object 104 can include a metallic particle, a
semiconductor particle, a protein superlattice, or combina-

tions thereof. In non-limiting embodiments, the object can
have various shapes. For example, an inorganic object can
have a cube, rod, octahedra, and/or spherical shape. Proteins
and enzymes can be included in the voxel regardless of their
shapes.

In certain embodiments, the object can be inserted into the
voxel before assembling the voxel. For example, gold nan-
oparticles (AUNP) can be encaged inside the octahedra
before these material voxels self-assemble. The AuNPs can
be positioned in the middle of each octahedron by hybrid-
ization with its internal strands. Then mix OB and OR
frames (with encaged AuNPs) and anneal to form a tem-
plated 3D AuNP array.

In certain embodiments, the object can be inserted into the
voxel after assembling the voxel. For example, objects (e.g.,
AuNP) can be inserted into the voxel by adding the objects
into a solution of formed, empty frame lattices over the
octahedra at predetermined ratio. Annealing of the mixed
solution can cause diffusion/distribution of at least one
object into the ordered scaffold.

In certain embodiments, the ssDNA length of frames
and/or inter-octahedra distance can be modified. In non-
limiting embodiments, the ssDNA can be designable. For
example, the range of the ssDNA length can be from about
5 to about 150 bases.

In certain embodiments, properties of the voxel can be
modified with different valence. Various lattice symmetries
can be formed by adjusting the valence of the voxel. For
example, cubic frames (e.g., 8 valence) including twelve
6-helix bundle edges (6HB) with edge lengths about -29 nm
can be assembled to a well-ordered body-centered-cubic
(BCC) lattice. In non-limiting embodiments, two kinds of
cubes (ie, CB and CR). CB and CR are the same cubic
DNA frame with encoded vertices for inter-voxel connec-
tions. CB and CR have complementary ssDNA strands at the
vertices. Each CB vertex can include three DNA strands
complementary to the three CR vertex strands. Both cube
populations can have another set of DNA sticky-ends at each
vertex that point towards the cube center for binding with
ssDNA of AuNPs for encaging of the AuNPs. This encap-
sulation can allow restoring the cube shape from their
skewed empty forms to a normal, undistorted form. Cube
assembly can be carried out by mixing CB and CR with
encaged NPs, followed by annealing. The well-ordered BCC
lattice can be in-line with a vertex-to-vertex hybridization of
cubic frames.

In certain embodiments, the voxel can form a diamond
lattice. For example, voxels with 4 valences can be hybrid-
ized between vertices of tetrahedral DNA frames, for which
each edge can include a 10HB with length ~36 nm. Four
internal DNA strands can bind to an object (e.g., AuNPs).
Equal amounts of two kinds of tetrahedra possessing
complementary sets of 6 sticky-end sequences at their
vertices can be mixed and annealed to form the diamond
lattice. Each tetrahedron can bind with four tetrahedra
through its vertices.

In certain embodiments, at least one object can include a
gold nano particle, a streptavidin, a protein, a quantum dot
(QD), an enzyme, or a combination thereof. In non-limiting,
embodiments, the object can be inorganic materials, and/or
the voxel can form a 3D protein arrays. For example, a
streptavidin, a protein containing four high-aflinity sites for
biotin binding, can be inserted in the voxel. The voxel can
include a plurality of hosting sites (e.g., 6 hosting sites) for
an organic object (e.g., streptavidin). For example, there can
be one hosting site at every vertex of a frame (e.g., v=6). In
non-limiting embodiments, each site can include at least one

Page 86

US 12,548,243 B2

1

ssDNA (e.g., four ssDNA) attached to the corresponding
edges that form the vertex. Each streptavidin can bind to
biotinylated DNA that is complementary to the edge-at-
tached strands. In some embodiments, the voxel including
an organic object can form a 3D origami lattice. For
example, OB and OR frames with streptavidin and bioti-
nylated DNA can be mixed and annealed.

In certain embodiments, the object can be functionalized.
For example, the gold particles can be functionalized with
thiolated oligonucleotides. The object can be mixed with the
oligonucleotides in a predetermined ratio (e.g., 1:300).
Quantum can be functionalized by mixing with excess
biotinylated DNA (x10 molar excess). Streptavidin can be
functionalized by mixing with biotinylated DNA to fabricate
the streptavidin/DNA complex based on the specific binding
of biotin and streptavidin. Enzymes can be functionalized by
mixing with activated oligonucleotides in a predetermined
ratio (e.g., 1:5).

In certain embodiments, the voxel can be used for optical
applications and catalytic applications. For example, the
voxel can be combined with quantum dots for the optical
applications. Multiple distinct binding sites (e.g., 8) can be
programed within the interior region of octahedron DNA
origami using orthogonal, interior ssDNA overhangs. The
OB and OR octahedra can each encoded to host a specific
quantum dot (QD), which can have certain fluorescence
emissions (e.g., 525 or 705 nm) resulting in two optically
distinctive types of DNA material voxels. ssDNA-modified
quantum dots can then be annealed into empty, fully-
assembled material voxels lattices designed to either be
half-filled by a single QD or fully-filled by two types of
QD’s at predetermined ration (e.g., 1:1 ratio).

In certain embodiments, a cascaded enzyme network
organized within the disclosed 3D lattice can be used for the
catalytic applications (e.g., 3D biomolecular arrays).
Enzymes can be inserted into active high-density 3D arrays
using material voxel, and further be manipulated and
enhanced cascade reactions using such 3D packaging of
enzymes. For example, ssDNA-modified glucose oxidase
(GOx) and horseradish peroxide (HRP) can bind, respec-
tively, to a single interior hosting site within each OB and
OR octahedra, forming two enzymatic types of material
voxels, which can be co-assembled in the disclosed lattice.
The assembled lattice architecture can provide an increased
activity of the enzymatic cascade, high packing density, and
co-localization of catalytic components.

The disclosed subject matter provides a method for orga-
nizing an object into a three-dimensional (3D) array. The
method includes creating a voxel including a plurality of

frames by hybridizing at least one single stranded (ss) DNA 5

motif with at least one complementary strand fragment of
the plurality of frames and inserting the object into the voxel
by mixing the object and the voxel in a predetermined ratio.

In certain embodiment, the voxel can be designed to form
octahedral, cubic, tetrahedral origami frames. In non-limit-
ing embodiments, each edge of the octahedral and cubic
frames can include a 6HB with length of 84 base pairs. For
each 6HB, both ends can have one single-stranded DNA
sticky end for binding with another frame. In some embodi-
ments, for an octahedron, there can be four DNA sticky ends
per vertex. For a cube lattice, there can be three DNA sticky
ends per vertex. In non-limiting embodiments, each edge of
the tetrahedron can include a 10HB, and both ends can have
two single-stranded DNA sticky ends for binding with
another frame in each 10HB. There can be six DNA sticky
ends per vertex. In some embodiments, the DNA origami
frames can be folded by mixing scaffold DNA, designed

staple oligonucleotide, and sticky end strands extending
from the vertices in a buffer/salt solution. The mixed solu-
tion can be annealed to obtain the target DNA structure.

In certain embodiments, the object can be encaged in the
voxel by mixing the object and the voxel in a predetermined
ratio. In non-limiting embodiments, the predetermined ratio
between the object and the voxel can be from about 1:1 to
about 30:1. For example, in order to insert nanoparticles/
streptavidin inside the DNA cage, nanoparticle-DNA or
streptavidin-DNA complex can be mixed with DNA frames
at a ratio of about 1.5:1 or about 2:1, respectively. For the
system of six streptavidin proteins caged within octahedra,
the ratio of streptavidin-DNA complex and DNA frame can
be about 15:1.

In certain embodiments, the mixed solution can be
annealed by cooling to encage the object (e.g., particles or
proteins) inside the DNA frame. These material-filled DNA
frames can be then used to synthesize a lattice. In order to
load QDs into the lattice, two complimentary octahedron
DNA origami can be annealed without guest particles.
Assembled DNA origami crystals can be mixed with the
functionalized QDs, and a secondary annealing can be
performed.

In certain embodiments, DNA-functionalized enzymes
can be mixed with either formed octahedra DNA lattice,
octahedra DNA lattice in order to create the 3D enzyme
array.

In certain embodiments, the method can further include
functionalizing the object. For example, the gold particles
can be functionalized with thiolated oligonucleotides. The
object can be mixed with the oligonucleotides in a prede-
termined ratio (e.g., 1:300). Quantum can be functionalized
by mixing with excess biotinylated DNA (x10 molar
excess). Streptavidin can be functionalized by mixing with
biotinylated DNA to fabricate the streptavidin/DNA com-
plex based on the specific binding of biotin and streptavidin.
Enzymes can be functionalized by mixing with activated
oligonucleotides in a predetermined ratio (e.g., 1:5).

In certain embodiments, the disclosed subject matter
provides nanoparticle-based clusters that can allow harvest-
ing of collective and emergent properties, with applications
ranging from optics and sensing to information processing
and catalysis. For example, the disclosed subject matter can
provide cluster architectures that can be formed using com-
ponents with programmable valence. The cluster assemblies
can be formed by employing a three-dimensional (3D) DNA
meshframe with spatial symmetry as a site-programmable
scaffold, which can be prescribed with desired valence
modes and affinity types. In non-limiting embodiments, the
meshframe can be a versatile platform for the coordination
of nanoparticles into desired cluster architectures. Target
positions and types of bonds can be prescribed. The
meshframe can offer designability over different valence
modes using the underlying symmetry frame, including
various subset symmetries, arbitrarily prescribed helix-like
valence, and valence with different types of affinities. In
some embodiments, the structures of assembled 3D clusters
can be verified by electron microscopy imaging, cryo-EM
tomography, or in-situ X-ray scattering methods.

In certain embodiments, the disclosed subject matter
provides methods for creating a DNA nanochamber (DNC).
The DNC can be a hollow cuboid nano-object with differ-
entiated bonds. The bonds of the DNC can be prescribed and
encoded along its three orthogonal axes. For example, by
differentiating the bonds, one-(1D), two-(2D), and/or three-
(3D) dimensional organized arrays can be formed. Through
different binding modes, the DNC can be sequence encoded

13

nanoscale heteropolymers, helical polymers, 2D lattices, or
mesoscale 3D nanostructures with internal order. In non-
limiting embodiments, the DNC can host a nanoscale cargo
and be integrated with functional nano-objects and/or their
organization in larger-scale systems.

In certain embodiments, the disclosed subject matter can
also be used for creating light-emitting 3D arrays with
diffraction-limited spectral purity and the disclosed 3D
enzymatic arrays.

EXAMPLES,

Example 1: Ordered Three-Dimensional
Nanomaterials Using DNA-Prescribed and
Valence-Controlled Material Voxels

Design and folding of DNA origami frames: Octahedral,
cubic and tetrahedral DNA origami frames were designed by

caDNAno software. In the design, each edge of the octahe- 5

dral and cubic frames was composed of a 6HB with length
of 84 base pairs. For each 6HB, both ends have one
single-stranded DNA sticky end for binding with another
frame. For an octahedron, there are four DNA sticky ends
per vertex, while for a cube there are three. Each edge of the
tetrahedron was composed of a 10HB. For each 10HB, both
ends have two single-stranded DNA sticky ends for binding
with another frame. Thus, there are six DNA sticky ends per
vertex. DNA origami frames were folded by mixing 10 nM
M13mp18 scaffold DNA (Bayou Biolabs, LLC), 74 nM of
each designed staple oligonucleotide and 100 nM of each of
the sticky end strands extending from the vertices in a
buffer/salt solution containing 1 mM EDTA, 12.5 mM
magnesium chloride and 40 mM tris acetate with a pH
around 8.0. The mixed solution was then annealed slowly by
cooling from 90° C. to room temperature over 20 h to obtain
the target DNA structure. Details of the interframe bonds
and designs of the complementary DNA sequences can be
found listed in Table 1 (for the octahedron) and Table 2 (for
the cube).

DNA functionalization of nanomaterials: Gold nanopar-
ticles-Thiolated oligonucleotides, purchased from Integrated
DNA Technologies (IDT), were first reduced by tris[2-
carboxyethyl]phosphine (TCEP) and then purified by a size
exclusion column (G-25, GE Healthcare) to remove small
molecules. Spherical AUNP with a diameter of ~10 nm (Ted
Pella Inc.) were then mixed with the oligonucleotides in a
ratio of 1:300, followed by buffering the solution to obtain
10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7) after 2 h. Following buffer
addition, sodium chloride was slowly added into the solution
until a final concentration of 0.3 M was reached. The
solution was then aged at room temperature for at least 12
h. Excessive reagents were removed by centrifuging the
solution four times and washing with 10 mM phosphate
buffer with 0.1 M sodium chloride.

Quantum dots: Three different streptavidin-coated QDs
(cadmium selenide/zine sulfide) were purchased from
Thermo Fisher Scientific with emissions of 525 nm, 605 nm.
and 725 nm. Each was mixed with excess biotinylated DNA
(x10 molar excess) and aged over 12 h in the dark at room
temperature (1xTAE buffer, 12.5 mM magnesium chloride)
to obtain QD/DNA complexes.

Streptavidin: A solution of streptavidin-Cy3 conjugate
was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Biotinylated DNA was
purchased from IDT, which was then mixed with streptavi-
din-CY3 and aged over 12 h in the dark to fabricate the
streptavidin/DNA complex based on the specific binding of
biotin and streptavidin.

Enzymes: GOx was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. HRP
was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Enzymes
were first mixed with Sulfo-EMCS in a ratio of 20:1
(Sulfo-EMCS:enzyme) in PBS buffer (pH 7.4) for 1.5 h at
room temperature, and then purified by a Amicon 30k cutoff
filter. Thiolated oligonucleotides (IDT) were reduced by
TCEP (1,000:1) in PBS buffer. The excess TCEP was
removed by a size exclusion column (G-25, GE Healthcare).
Next, sulfo-EMCS-treated enzymes were mixed with acti-
vated oligonucleotides with a ratio of 1:5 in PBS buffer and
rotated at 4° C. overnight. The DNA attached enzymes were
then purified by Amicon cutoff filter (50 k for GOx, 30 k for
HRP). The number of DNA attached to the enzyme was
quantified by ultravioletvisible light spectroscopy.

Thermal annealing of DNA origami frames: For empty
DNA lattices, OB and OR were mixed in a 1:1 ratio (same
method as for other origami topologies). For single ‘cargo’
inserted DNA lattices, OB, OR and ‘cargo’ complex were
mixed with a ratio of 1:1:2 (same method as for other
shapes). For the system of six streptavidin proteins, the ratio
was 1:1:15. The mixed solution was then carefully annealed
by cooling from 50° C. to room temperature at a rate of 0.2°
C. h-1 to obtain the lattice.

Encaging materials in DNA frames and lattice. In order to
insert nanoparticles/streptavidin inside the DNA cage, nan-
oparticle-DNA or streptavidin-DNA complex were mixed
with DNA frames at a ratio of 1.5:1 or 2:1, respectively. For
the system of six streptavidin proteins caged within octahe-
dra, the ratio of streptavidin-DNA complex and DNA frame
was 15:1. The mixed solution was then slowly annealed by
cooling from 50° C. to room temperature with rate of 0.2°
C. h-1 to encage the particles or proteins inside the DNA
frame. These material-filled DNA frames were then used to
synthesize a lattice.

In order to load QDs into the lattice, two complimentary
octahedron DNA origami were annealed, following the
lattice annealing protocol described previously, without any
guest particles. Assembled DNA origami crystals were then
mixed with the functionalized QDs and underwent a short
(~4 h) secondary annealing protocol.

In order to create the enzymatic systems, DNA-function-
alized enzymes were mixed with either formed octahedra
DNA lattice (10 nM), octahedra DNA lattice melted for 1 h
at 52° C. and immediately placed on ice (to form an
amorphous aggregate), or free octahedra containing enzyme
binding sites. These solutions were mixed in TE buffer (pH
7.5) containing 12.5 mM magnesium chloride. Because of
the contribution of TAE buffer from the DNA samples, the
final pH was measured to be pH 8.0. The sample was gently
shaken at room temperature for 24 h. Glucose and Amplex
Red were added at final concentrations of 150 mM and 200
M, respectively, with additional magnesium chloride to
ensure the final concentration was maintained at 12.5 mM.
Then 100 ul reactions were measured in a 96-well plate
using a Tecan Infinite plate reader, with four repeats per-
formed for each sample.

Dynamic light scattering: The dynamic light-scattering
measurements were conducted using a Malvern Zetasizer ZS
instrument at the backscattering angle of 173°. It was
equipped with a laser source (633 nm) and a backscattering
detector. For measuring the melting temperatures of each
nanoparticle-frame assembly, the samples were cooled (Ix
TAE buffer with 12.5 mM magnesium chloride) slowly in
the chamber of the machine from 50° C. to room tempera-
ture. The dependence of measured aggregate size versus
temperature was obtained.

TEM and cryo-EM. The carbon-coated grids were glow
discharged in a 0.39 mbar air atmosphere for 1 min using
PELCO easiGlow (Ted Pella, Inc.). Before EM grid prepa-
ration, the sample was assessed for homogeneity by nega-
tive-stain electron microscopy. Then 3 1] of sample solution
was applied to glow discharged carbon-coated lacey grids,
incubated for 2 min at 10° C. and 95% humidity, blotted for
3s and then plunged the sample into liquid ethane using a
FEI Vitrobot IV. The grids were loaded into FEI Talos
Arctica electron microscope operated at 200 kV high tension
and collected images with EPU under low-dose mode at a
magnification of x92,000 and a pixel size of 1.55 A. A
Falcon III direct electron detector was used under linear
mode for image recording with an under-focus range from
1.5 to 3.5 m. The dose rate was 20 electrons per A2 per
second and total exposure time was 2 s. The total dose was
divided into a 39-frame video and each frame was exposed
for 0.05 s.

Cryo-STEM. Cryo-samples for imaging under STEM
were prepared similar to that described above but blotted for
only 0.5 s before plunging into the liquid nitrogen-cooled
liquid ethane. The samples were then transferred to a cryo-
genic holder and imaged under a field-emission TEM (JEOL
2100F). The TEM was operated at 200 keV in the annular
dark field scanning TEM mode.

SAXS. The SAXS measurements were conducted at the
Coherent Hard X-ray and Complex Materials Scattering
beamlines. The 2D scattering data were collected on area
detectors placed downstream of the sample.

Self-assembly relies on a combination of inter-object
interactions and an object’s specific shape to achieve a
system organization. The significant progress in designing
shells and shapes of nanoscale objects provides a play-
ground for exploring and understanding these relationships
and mapping out the resulting phases. Despite significant

progress in this field, it can be challenging to create desired
organizations from specific nano-objects due to an intrinsic
problem (e.g., a coupling between the properties of the
objects and the resulting organization). Thus, from a mate-
rial design point of view, nearly each system requires its own
solution. The problem of forming ordered structures is even
greater for biomolecules due their complex shapes and
distributions of surface groups. While for the two-dimen-
sional (2D) assemblies, surface patterning can be often used
for scaffolding nano-objects, there is no viable option for
building three-dimensional (3D) ordered arrays with the
desired organizations.

DNA can be a polymer capable of define structural
organization at small scales. Moreover, in this context, DNA
is a precisely programmable material appropriate for direct-
ing 3D particle organization. Particles can be bound with
single-stranded DNA chains and assembled using base-
pairing of complementary sequences. This approach, how-
ever, cannot decouple particle properties, for example, its
shell, size and shape, from the assembly structure. The
problem of organizing biomolecules is even greater. Thus,
an outstanding challenge is to establish platform approaches
for assembly of nanoscale objects of different natures in 3D.

Here, 3D DNA frameworks were used to form from
polyhedral DNA frames for organizing nano-objects that are
contained inside frames. The versatility of this approach can
extend to catalytic, biological and inorganic matrices, meta-
materials, and information storage devices. One of the key
difficulties for realizing this strategy was revealing the
relationship between the design of frame and interframe
connectivity and formation of the 3D ordered framework. A
successful approach can be using DNA strand sets forming
tensegrity triangles to precisely assemble 3D DNA molecu-
lar crystals. These crystals can incorporate organic semicon-
ductors or DNA devices. However, the lattice type can be
limited to that motif and the small guest species (<7 nm).
DNA origami in the format of a tensegrity triangle was used
to reproduce this type of lattice through stacking interactions
with guest nanoparticles. Here, DNA origami frames of
different shapes were used to both host desired nano-objects
and access different lattice symmetries through vertex-to-
vertex hybridization of frames. Unlike stacking, hybridiza-
tion permits a great control over interactions encoding,
energetics and flexibility of interframe linkages. Co-assem-
bly of lattices of spherical nanoparticles and DNA frames of
different shapes depend on the intricate balance of maxi-
mizing a number of particle-to-frame hybridizations and
minimizing interframe interactions. Thus, formation of the
lattice depends on the particle properties. In contrast, a 3D
ordered lattice can be fully assembled purely from DNA
frames with shapes of Platonic solids, such as a tetrahedron,
octahedron and cube.

Here, Polyhedral frames were capable of interframe
hybridization via vertex-to-vertex hybridization (FIG. 1).
Thus, the DNA frame 101 possesses a spatially determined
valence (v) defined by its shape. Interframe hybridization
results in assembly with the ability to form an ordered lattice
102, whose type is determined by the frame valence. The
frame can be empty or enclose nano-objects 103 (e.g.
nanoparticles or proteins), correspondingly resulting in the
formation of an empty DNA framework or arrays of pre-
cisely positioned nano-objects. This strategy allows to use
the same assembly process for creating arrays of very
different types of nano-objects (inorganic nanoparticles and
proteins), since the assembly approach intrinsically
decouples formation of the lattice 102 from the nano-objects
103 and their specific materials identity (FIG. 1, left). The

DNA frame 101 with nano-object 103 inside (FIG. 1,
middle) represents a building block for the formation of a3D
lattice 102 (FIG. 1, right). This block has a specific valence
determined by the vertices of the DNA frame and carries a
specific nanomaterial object inside (i.e., DNA material voxel
104). Instead of the optical signature associated with pixel
terminology, a DNA material voxel 104 is an elementary
volumetric block carrying material property and its binding
characteristics are fully determined by the frame shape 101
that leads to a 3D nanomaterial lattice 102.

3D DNA origami lattices were formed from octahedral
frames (valence, v6, edge length is about 29 nm) contain-
ing twelve 6-helix-bundle edges (6HB), designed with caD-
NAno. Each octahedron vertex (OB) incorporates single-
stranded (ss) DNA motifs withm+1 bases (FIG. 2A). FIG.
2A shows an example ssDNA encoded octahedral frames
OB and OR (left) with complementary strands that are
mixed to form a DNA lattice (right) and an unit cell (center)
with three faces of the unit cell (dots). FIG. 2B provides a
graph showing 2D SAXS pattern (inset) and corresponding
structure factor, S(q), for 3DDNA lattice and a fit modelled
using a SC lattice of DNA octahedra. FIG. 2C shows an
example negative stained TEM image for DNA lattice
formed by DNA octahedra. This construction allows for
hybridization of 1 nucleotides with complementary strand
fragments (1+n free bases, in FIG. 2A) on another octahe-
dron (OR) (Table 1). Motifs m and n define the number of
bases in respective polyT domains, while motif 1 refers to
the number of complementary bases in the binding region
between the two sequences. The vertex-driven sixfold octa-
hedral valency can yield ordered assemblies through vertex-
to-vertex hybridization of frames, which probed by small
angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and understand by compar-
ing to a validated model accounting for the nano-object’s
form factor, DNA bundle arrangement and the lattice type.
For the octahedral frame assemblies (I=8, m=22, n=22; no
encapsulated nano-objects), the 2D SAXS pattern and the
corresponding structure factor, S(q) (where q is the scatter-
ing vector), reveal a remarkably well-ordered simple cubic
(SC) lattice with about 15 orders of resolution-limited Bragg,
peaks (FIG. 2B). Negative stained transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) (FIG. 1C and FIG. 10) reveals domain
sizes of 3-5 jum.

While formation of a stand-alone DNA framework offers
proof-of-concept for this design approach, more relevant is
to template nano-object organization into 3D arrays. Thus,
10 nm gold nanoparticles (AUNP) were first sequestered
inside DNA octahedra before the material voxels self-
assembled (FIG. 3A, R1). AuNPs are positioned in the

middle of each octahedron by hybridization with its internal 5

strands (FIG. 3B). Then, OB and OR frames (with encaged
AuNPs) can be mixed and annealed to form a templated 3D
AuNP array. In non-limiting embodiments,

AuNP arrays can also be formed post facto (FIG. 3D, R2).
Nanoparticles were added into a solution of formed, empty
frame lattices at 2.5 times excess over the octahedra.
Annealing allows for the diffusion/distribution of particles
into the ordered scaffold. The resulting S(q) (FIG. 3E) is in
close agreement with route 1. Thus, both routes successfully
create the same 3D nanopar-ticle array. To explore the effect
of intervertex linkage designs, the ssDNA length was modi-
fied and thus the interoctahedra distance d (Table 1 and
FIGS. 11 and 12). Well-ordered SC lattices were observed
for all but the smallest d values, possibly due to destabilizing
electrostatic and steric effects at close separations.

To further emphasize this approach’s versatility, one of
the two types of cages can be selected to prefill with

w

nanoparticles while leaving the other empty. Thus, even
within the restriction of identical DNA cage scaffolds, a
totally different nanoparticle superlattice results (FIG. 3F).
Approximately 20 recognizable SAXS peaks (FIG. 3G,
black curve), where the peak position ratios q/ql=1: root
(4/3): root (8/3): root (11/3:2) . . . correspond to a face-
centered-cubic lattice with a lattice constant of 81.2 nm.
Detailed S(q) modelling confirms (FIG. 3G, red curve) that
the nanaoparticles are located precisely in every second
octahedron in the frame lattice (FIG. 2).

An advantage of this assembly method can be that nano-
objects of different kinds can be organized in 3D ordered
arrays in a similar manner. For example, encaged quantum
dots (QD, cadmium selenide, 5 nm core, FIG. 4A, inset)
were assembled using material voxels based on the same
type of DNA octahedra. Modelling shows excellent agree-
ment between the calculated and measured SC S(q) (FIG.
4A, structure illustrated in FIG. 4B).

This versatile lattice formation strategy can be expanded
to create other symmetries using DNA material voxels with
different valence values. Cubic frames (v=8) composed of
twelve 6HB with edge lengths similar (~29 nm) to the
octahedral frames were assembled (FIG. 13). Two kinds of
cubes (CB and CR) were used, where each CB vertex
contained three DNA strands complementary to the three CR
vertex strands (FIG. 4C). Both cube populations have
another set of DNA sticky ends at each vertex that point
towards the cube centre for binding with ssDNA of 10 nm
AuNPs. TEM images (FIG. 4A and FIG. 14) show that the
AuNPs are encaged with high fidelity; this encapsulation
presumably helps to restore cube shape from their skewed
empty forms to a normal, undistorted form. Cube assembly
was carried out by mixing CB and CR with encaged nan-
oparticles, followed by annealing as described above. The
experimental data and model S(q) (FIG. 4A, curve), reveal
a well-ordered body-centered-cubic (BCC) lattice, which is
in-line with a vertex-to-vertex hybridization of cubic frames.
Considering the nearest interparticle distance (66.2 nm),
each CB is connected to CRs at eight vertices yielding the
BCC arrangement.

Next assembly of material voxels with v=4 using hybrid-
ization between vertices of tetrahedral DNA frames was
tested for which each edge is composed of a 10HB with
length ~36 nm (FIG. 15) and four internal DNA strands bind
10 nm AuNPs (FIG. 4C). Equal amounts of two kinds of
tetrahedra possessing complementary sets of six sticky end
sequences at their vertices (TR) and (TB) in FIG. 4E were
mixed and annealed. SAXS (FIG. 4E) revealed a well-
ordered diamond type lattice with ~15 observable scattering
peaks (black and red curves). Each tetrahedron binds with
four tetrahedra through its vertices (FIG. 4F). This organi-
zation is different from particles that were only arranged in
the lattice under the restriction of the specific size ratio of a
frame footprint to a particle. Here, formation of diamond
lattice in respect to frames was detected, thus, any objects
encaged in the frames can form a diamond lattice.

The correlation between the DNA frame valence and the
resulting lattice was identified. Conventional theories for
DNA-mediated self-assembly operate within the limit of
high grafting densities and isotropic interaction site distri-
bution. In the presently disclosed model, however, interac-
tion sites are localized to small regions, resulting in ‘patchy’
interframe attractions. Wertheim’ s thermodynamic perturba-
tion theory was modified for associating particles to properly
account for this patchiness. The resulting free energies yield
the most favorable ground state crystal structure for a
particular frame. Cubic frames preferentially self-assemble

into a BCC structure, whereas the octahedral frames pack
into a SC lattice; diamond lattices are favored for tetrahedral
frames. The preference for these morphologies can be
explained by decomposing the AG into its enthalpic and
entropic components, AG=AH-TAS, where AG is the
change in Gibbs free energy, AH the change in enthalpy and
TAS the change in entropy; enthalpy dominates were iden-
tified. Further, the size and interaction range of these patches
depends on the degree of frame truncation; the degree of
truncation can also be used to modulate the self-assembled
morphologies. These results suggest that truncation tuning
can provide an additional powerful handle for expanding
this approach to wider ranges of crystal symmetries.

While this theoretical understanding underscores the
Opportunities in a crystal lattice design, the DNA material
voxel assembly strategy was expanded by moving beyond
inorganic AUNPs and QDs as templated nano-objects to
organic materials, by creating ordered 3D protein arrays. As
an illustration, streptavidin, a protein containing four high-
affinity sites for biotin binding, was used. Six hosting sites
were designed for streptavidin, one at each vertex of an
octahedral DNA frame (v=6), with each site containing four
ssDNA attached to the four corresponding edges that form
the vertex (FIG. 5A). Thus, each streptavidin can bind to
biotinylated DNA that is complementary to the edge-at-
tached strands. FIGS. 16 and 17 provide data for a second
organization whereby DNA cages attach a single streptavi-
din. FIG. 16A shows a model of protein caged octahedron.
Star shape is the streptavidin, while four balls represents
four biotins. FIG. 16B shows a representative cryo-EM
image for one streptavidin inserted octahedral particles.
Circles are examples of particles selected for further analy-
sis. Scale bar: 100 nm. FIG. 6C shows a reference-based 2D
class average for one protein inserted octahedra as obtained
from cryo-TEM single particle analysis. Arrow showed the
density of protein inside the octahedron. Scale bar: 20 nm.
FIG. 17A shows a diagram of assembly of one-streptavidin
caged octahedra (OB and OR) into 3D lattice. FIG. 17B
shows I(q) vs q for the DNA lattice with and without one
protein in a cage.

The protein-filled material voxels were characterized with
cryo-EM using single particle analysis. 2D class averages of
raw particle images are nearly identical to the corresponding
reconstructed 3D density model, demonstrating the correct
assembly of six proteins in the octahedral cage (FIG. 5B).
The cryo-EM 3D map (resolution ~23 A), allowing for the
visualization of the precise protein positions (FIG. 5C),
shows that the octahedral edge is ~30 nm long, in agreement
with the disclosed design. The streptavidin lattice structure

shows that the streptavidin proteins are well-docked into six 5

globular densities located at the inner space of vertices.
These measurements also indicate full protein occupancy
inside cages and high stability of cage-streptavidin com-
plexes.

Subsequently, OB and OR frames were mixed with
streptavidin and biotinylated DNA (labeled with Cyanine 3),
followed by annealing. The assembled pink-colored aggre-
gates were examined using Confocal Fluorescence Micros-
copy and found fluorescent ~3-5-am-sized square shapes
(FIG. 4D and FIG. 18).

Control experiments mixing OB, OR and labeled strepta-
vidin, but without biotinylated DNA, showed no fluorescent
aggregates, confirming that protein incorporation into DNA
frameworks requires specific binding.

SAXS of the encaged streptavidin lattice (FIG. 5E) shows
the same symmetry and peak positions as for the corre-
sponding empty DNA cage lattice; moreover, the similar

electron density of DNA bundles and streptavidin leads to
roughly similar peak intensities for both structures. How-
ever, small differences were observed in two highlighted
regions of S(q) (FIG. 5E). Detailed modeling, accounting for
the geometry, locations and density of DNA cages and the
six encaged streptavidin proteins (FIGS. 4C and 4F)
matches the overall shape of the experimental S(q) for both
empty and protein-filled ordered DNA frameworks and
moreover, explains the observed differences in S(q). Clearly,
protein arrays are templated by an ordered 3D array of
octahedral DNA cages.

The confirmation and characterization of different 3D
lattices, organizing both inorganic and organic materials,
demonstrates the versatility and universality of this DNA
material voxel assembly approach. This platform was used
to synthesize two different material organizations with prop-
erties relevant to dramatically different applications-optical
using a combination of QDs and catalytic using a cascaded
enzyme network organized within a 3D lattice.

The exploitation of colloidal QD properties can lead to a
rapidly growing market for QD-based devices and even
more specifically, QD optoelectronics. The tunability of a
cadmium selenide core shell QD emission has made them an
ideal candidate for QD light-emitting diodes, which have
characteristic high color purity over a color gamut that is far
larger than has traditionally been incorporated into display
technologies. Such devices are formed from layers or films
of QDs, yet it has the photoluminescence quantum yield,
PL that is reduced by one to two orders of magnitude in
such formats in a field where higher display brightness is the
desired device characteristic. The 3D organization of QDs
with a controlled, larger separation distance can improve the
yPL by reducing energy transfer between QDs. Further-
more, precise control over the structural (unit cell, lattice
parameters and so on) and material properties of 3D QD
organizations can allow for the engineering of desired QD
superlattice photo-optical responses.

Eight distinct binding sites were programmed within the
interior region of octahedron DNA origami through the use
of orthogonal, interior ssDNA overhangs. The OB and OR
octahedra were each encoded to host a specific cadmium
selenide QD, possessing fluorescence emissions of either
525 or 705 nm, thus resulting in two optically distinctive
types of DNA material voxels. ssDNA-modified QDs were
then annealed into empty, fully assembled material voxel
(v=6) lattices designed to either be half-filled by a single QD
or fully-filled by two types of QDs at a 1:1 ratio (charac-
terization in FIGS. 19-27). Fluorescence microscopy imag-
ing and spectra measurements were performed on the QD
superlattices, demonstrating a ‘perfect mixing’ of the two
fluorescence emissions in superlattices encoded to bind both
QDs in equal ratios (FIG. 6A). This ‘perfect mixing’ refers
to the inability to identify an emission signal from a non-
equal QD mixture over a wide range of scan areas down to
minimal diffraction-limited scales, (FIG. 6B and FIGS.
27A-27J) and thus presents a 3D optical organization with
subdiffraction spectral stability. Furthermore, the fluores-
cence lifetime (t) of the mixed QD superlattices (FIGS.
24A-24B) was within 15% of superlattices of only one QD
for both 1525 and 1705 (FIGS. 20A, 20B, 22A, and 22B),
indicating a minimal energy transfer a vast improvement
over directly layered, thin-film systems.

Next, the catalytic functionality of 3D biomolecular
arrays were demonstrated. While the effects of enzyme
colocalization in simple geometries and one-dimensional or
2D scaffolds were shown, this 3D format provides both
significantly denser enzyme packing and a different spatial

21

architecture. ssDNA-modified glucose oxidase (GOx) and
horseradish peroxide (HRP), were bind, respectively, to a
single interior hosting site within each OB and OR octahe-
dra, forming two enzymatic types of material voxels (v-6),
which are co-assembled in a lattice as discussed above. The
GOx-HRP pair can be used as a model enzymatic cascade
and tracked by the synthesis of fluorescent resorufin from
the precursor Amplex Red upon glucose addition (reaction
overview and sample layout shown in FIG. 6C). Equal
amounts of origami and enzyme were utilized in each
experimental setup to ensure accurate comparisons of activ-
ity.

The 3D architecture (I) yields a nearly 300% increase in
initial reaction velocities (V) over the solution format con-
taining the same concentration of enzyme encaged in free
octahedra (III), as shown in FIG. 6D. The reaction is
undertaken at a concentration of glucose above that needed
to achieve Vmax, as demonstrated by FIG. 28. In order to
determine the role of DNA lattice organization itself versus
a high local density of origami and enzymes, an associated
origami aggregate was formed. This synthesis involved
dissociating a lattice prior to enzyme incorporation by
heating to 52° C., holding for 1 h and then immediately
placing the tube on ice to induce the formation of an
amorphous assembly. This formation procedure stands in
contrast to the controlled, five-day anneal.

Sample II in FIG. 6D demonstrates that aggregate assem-
bly induces higher activity than free origami, but not to the
extent of an ordered lattice: furthermore, the significantly
larger sample variability for amorphous aggregates reflects
an intrinsic variability of the disordered states. These results
indicate that the lattice architecture contributes to increased
activity of the enzymatic cascade, rather than solely to
aggregation into higher local concentrations. Multiple con-
tributions can play a role in this higher activity, including
high packing density, colocalization of catalytic components
and local environment effects of the DNA framework. This
work shows an ability to structure enzymes into active
high-density 3D arrays using a material voxel strategy and
the possibility of manipulating and enhancing cascade reac-
tions using 3D packaging of enzymes.

In summary, the assembly platform was shown for cre-
ating 3D lattices from nanomaterials of different natures,
both inorganic and bio-organic, as well as stand-alone DNA
origami frames. The disclosed methods integrate DNA
frames with a prescribed valence and material nano-objects
into a material voxel. This allows the definition of a lattice
symmetry and a lattice composition through the material
voxel design and enables nanomaterials with novel optical

and chemical properties. The presented strategy offers a 5

powerful pathway for the rational assembly of 3D ordered
nanomaterials from desired nano-objects for a broad range
of applications.

Example 2: Characterization of DNA-Prescribed
and Valence-Controlled Material Voxels

Fabrication of empty DNA lattice and ‘cargo’-inserted
DNA lattices: For empty DNA lattices, OB and OR were
mixed with a ratio of 1:1 (same method for other shapes).
For single ‘cargo’ inserted DNA lattices, the ratio for OB,
OR and ‘cargo’ complex were mixed with a ratio around
1:1:2 (same method for other shapes). For the system of 6
streptavidins, the ratio was around 1:1:15. The mixed solu-
tion was then carefully annealed by cooling from 50° C. to
room temperature with a rate of 0.2° C/h to obtain the
lattice. FIG. 7 provides a diagram showing an example

structure of octahedral DNA frames. m bases is a poly T part
from OB vertex, n bases is a poly T part from the OR vertex.
Hybridization between these strands occurs with 1 comple-
mentary bases. FIG. 8 provides a diagram showing another
example structure of cubic DNA frames including bases of
a poly T part from the vertex (m, n) and complementary
bases (1).

Melting temperature determination: The melting tempera-
ture of the octahedral 3D DNA lattice was obtained by
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). The mixed sample solu-
tion was cooled slowly in the sample chamber from 50° C.
to room temperature and measured the in situ size of the
assemblies to obtain the dependence of the size of aggre-
gates versus temperature. FIG. 9 provides a graph showing
example melting temperature measured by dynamic light
scattering for octahedral DNA lattice.

Encaging quantum dots inside DNA lattice for mixed QD
lattice: Two complimentary octahedron DNA origami are
annealed, following the lattice annealing protocol described
previously, without any guest particles. Assembled DNA
origami crystals were then mixed with the functionalized
QD’s and undergo a short (~4 hour) secondary annealing
protocol. In detail, the QD’s were mixed with lattice at a 3x
molar excess, for example (QDA:OB) was (3:1). The sec-
ondary annealing protocol included the following proce-
dure: 25° C. for 10 sec, 35° C. for 10 sec, 40° C. for 1 min,
45° C. for 10 min, then a ramp of -5° C./hr was applied to
the samples for the next 4 hours, bringing the final tempera-
ture to 25°C.

Fluorescence microscopy and measurements: Confocal
imaging and micro-PL spectrum measurements were con-
ducted on Leica SP5 TCS laser-scanning confocal imaging/
hyperspectral imaging microscope mounted with a 63x, 1.2
NA water immersion objective. A CW argon laser (458 nm)
was applied to excite the sandwiched sample, and three
photomultiplier (PMT) channels were selected for simulta-
neous PL imaging of three different colors (500-550 nm,
$55-576 nm, and 680-730 nm) accompanied by a transmit-
ted light detector (TLD) for transmission imaging. Hyper-
spectral imaging was performed using a single PMT channel
in the spectrum range of 500-749 nm (bandwidth 5 nm,
detection step size 3 nm). The micro-PL spectra were
extracted from hyperspectral images in various regions of
interest (ROIs). The hyperspectral imaging can be slightly
affected by the detection efficiency of the PMT channel due
to the large wavelength range, but it is reasonable to
compare spectra from various ROIs.

Time-resolved confocal fluorescence-lifetime imaging
microscopy (FLIM) measurements were performed on a
home-built inverted microscope (Olympus IX8 1) with raster
scanning stage mounted with a 60x, 1.2 NA water immer-
sion objective. The sample solutions (typically 0.8 pL) were
sandwiched by hydrophobic coverslips and excited by a
pulsed diode-pumped solid-state laser system (LHD-440
PicoQuant, wavelength 440 nm, full width at half maximum
90 ps) operated at 10 MHz repetition rate with an average
power of 500 nW. The photoluminescence (PL) was col-
lected in the epi-illumination scheme, spectrally separated
from the excitation laser light by a dichroic mirror (Sem-
rock, DiO-495) and spatially filtered by a 100 um pinhole.
Then the PL was split by another dichroic mirror (Semrock,
DiO-605). The transmitted and reflected PL were filtered by
690/40 and 525/50 band-pass filters (Semrock), respectively,
and imaged onto two single-photon-counting avalanche
photodiodes (MPD PicoQuant) coupled to a time-analyzer

(PicoHarp 300, PicoQuant). Data acquisition and data analy-
sis were performed with the Symphotime 64 analysis soft-
ware (PicoQuant).

DNA functionalization of enzymes: Glucose oxidase
(GOx) was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Horseradish
peroxidase (HRP) was purchased from Thermo Fisher Sci-
entific. Enzymes were first mixed with Sulfo-EMCS in ratio
of 20:1 (Sulfo-EMCS:enzyme) in PBS buffer (pH 7.4) for
1.5 hours at room temperature, and then purified by a
Amicon 30 k cutoff filter. Thiolated oligonucleotides (IDT),
(i and ii, Table 3) were reduced by TCEP (1000:1) in PBS
buffer. The excess TCEP was removed by size exclusion
column (G-25, GE Healthcare). Next, sulfo-EMCS-treated
enzymes were mixed with activated oligonucleotides with a
ratio of 1:5 in PBS buffer and rotated at 4° C. overnight. The
DNA-attached enzymes were then purified by Amicon cutoff
filter (50 k for GOx, 30 k for HRP). The number of DNA
attachment on enzymes was quantified by UV-Vis. Follow-
ing is the method for calculating DNA attachment on
enzyme (GOx):

The DNA attachment ratios were calculated to be approxi-
mately 1.0 for GOx and 1.8 for HRP.

Encaging enzymes inside DNA lattice—experimental set-
ups and methods: DNA-attached enzymes were mixed with
octahedral DNA lattice (10 nM), octahedral DNA lattice
melted for 1 hour at 52° C. and immediately placed on ice,
free octahedra containing enzyme binding sites, and free
octahedra with no enzyme binding sites in a ratio of 1:1 in
TE buffer (pH 7.5) containing 12.5 mM MgCl. Due to
contribution of TAE buffer from the DNA samples, the final
pH was measured to be pH 8.0. The sample was gently
shaken at room temperature for 24 hours. Glucose and
Amplex Red were added at final concentrations of 150 mM
and 200 uM, respectively, with additional MgCl, to ensure
final concentration was maintained at 12.5 mM. 100 pL
reactions were measured in a 96-well plate using a Tecan
Infite plate reader, with four repeats performed for each
sample.

Sample preparation: The carbon-coated grids were glow
discharged in a 0.39 mbar air atmosphere for 1 min by using
PELCO easiGlow (Ted Pella, Inc.). Before EM grid prepa-
ration, the sample was assessed for homogeneity by nega-
tive-stain electron microscopy. 3 ul of sample solution was
applied to glow-discharged carbon-coated lacey grids, incu-

bated for 2 min at 10° C. and 95% humidity, blotted for 3 s_5

then plunged into liquid ethane using an FEI Vitrobot IV.
The grids were loaded into a FEI Talos Arctica electron
microscope operated at 200 kV high tension and collected
images semi-automatically with EPU under low-dose mode
at a magnification of x92,000 and a pixel size of 1.55 A.A
Falcon III direct electron detector was used under linear
mode for image recording with an under-focus range from
1.5 to 3.5 m. The dose rate was 20 electrons per A? per
second and total exposure time was 2 seconds. The total dose
was divided into a 39-frame movie and each frame was
exposed for 0.05 s.

Image processing and 3D reconstruction: For octahedral
DNA, 2155 raw movie micrographs were collected. For
octahedral DNA with one streptavidin in center 1122 raw
movie micrographs were collected. For octahedral DNA
with six streptavidins in corners, 615 raw movie micro-
graphs were collected. The movie frames were first aligned

and superimposed by the program Motioncorr 2.0. Contrast
transfer function parameters of each aligned micrograph
were calculated using the program CTFFIND4. Subsequent
procedures, including particle auto picking, 2D classifica-
tion, 3D classification, 3D refinement, and density map
post-processing were performed using Relion-2.0°. Tem-
plate for automatic picking was firstly generated from a 2D
average of about ~1,000 particles from different views.
Automatic particle selection was performed for the entire
data set. Then the particles obtained from automatic picking
were assessed and removed the bad particles. 2D classifi-
cation of all good particles was performed and particles in
unrecognizable classes by visual inspection were removed.
Particles in good classes were used for further 3D classifi-
cation, and the best model was chosen for further 3D
refinement. The resolution of the final maps was estimated
by the gold-standard Fourier shell correlation, at the corre-
lation cutoff value of 0.143. The crystal structure of strepta-
vidin (PDB code 4YVB) was docked as a single rigid body
into the EM density in the Chimera program. Structural
figures and movies were prepared in Chimera.

Cryo-samples for imaging under STEM were prepared
similar to that described above but blotted for only 0.5s
before plunging into the liquid nitrogen-cooled liquid eth-
ane. The samples were then transferred to a cryogenic holder
and imaged under a field-emission transmission electron
microscope (TEM) (JEOL 2100F). The TEM was operated
at 200 keV in the annular dark-field scanning TEM mode
(ADE-STEM).

Analysis of polycrystalline domains: To identify
polycrystalline domains, three Fourier masks that are related
to three different crystalline domains that have different
relative crystallographic orientations were used (FIGS. 29A-
29D). The Fourier masks were found by windowed Fourier
transfer. This process can be automated using independent
component analysis/multivariate curve resolution; however,
for simplicity, three domains that have distinctive Fourier
space patterns were manually extracted. Inverse Fourier
transform of the Fourier space masked results illustrates
where the crystalline sub-domain is concentrated.

To identify the orientation of the subdomains, windowed
FFT was used to find relatively pure phase and indexed the
reflections and zone axes. The lattices have been sheared due
to cryo sample prep: during sample prep, the water film is
finite think and the surface can exert force on the embedded
the structures. Using this method, a couple low index
orientations was deconvolved. The most inner green set of
reflections are the {100} reflections. The corresponding
domains are projected along <001> orientations. The reflec-
tions in the “second shell” are the {110} reflections. The
corresponding domains are projected along <111>. The set
of reflections are the {111} reflections. The corresponding
domains are projected along <110> orientations.

Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS): The SAXS mea-
surements were conducted at the Coherent Hard X-ray
(CHX) and Complex Materials Scattering (CMS) beamlines.
The 2D scattering data were collected on area detectors
placed downstream of the sample. Information on the beam-
line setups is found in Table 3

Area images were integrated into a one-dimensional (1D)

with and 6 being the wavelength of the incident X-rays and
the full scattering angle, respectively. The resultant 1D
curves spanned roughly 0.04 nm’ to 1 nm’ with a reso-
Jution of 0.002 nm7!. The structure factor S(q) was obtained
by dividing I(q) by the corresponding particle form factor
P(q).

In this work, modeling of the presented analysis was
implemented using the ScatterSim software package, a
python package that implements a scattering formalism for
superlattices. This formalism can generically model the
scattering from arbitrary anisotropic nano-objects within the
unit cell of a regular superlattice. This library was extended
to perform the modeling described below.

SAXS theory: The scattered intensity I(q) of any object in
solution versus q is related to the Fourier transform of the
arrangement of its electrons:

Kg=ClF(g)l? 3)

Fogle? "a? @

where an overall scale factor dependent upon parameters
specific to the experimental setup, such as solid angle (pixel
size/detector distance), integration time, illuminated volume
and beam fiux is considered by the constant C. Here, p’
refers to an effective electron density which is described
later. Typically, this sum is broken up over its constituents,
(objects). Nano-objects as solids with uniform density were
modeled. The samples considered here are gold, CdSe, and
protein spheres, as well as DNA duplex bundles which was
modeled as cylinders. For some small volume that is rep-
resentative of the density of the larger scale element (homo-
geneous), the effective electron density is defined as:

1 6)

At low angles, f, is equal to the number of electrons per
atom and f,' is an energy dependent correction term arising
from quantum mechanical effects of the binding energy the

electrons bound to their atoms. the q dependence in f, was
neglected, since this is pronounced only at atomistic length
scales (wide-angle scattering), and not relevant to the
nanoscale measurements (small-angle scattering) consid-
ered here.

These effective electron densities result in an overall scale
factor for the scattered field of each object.

For the accuracies needed here, one can neglect dispersion
effects and assume that the sample density is roughly the
same as the mass density for simple elements of the periodic
table (an average of | electron every 2 AMU). In this case,
the electron density can be substituted with the mass density.
This results in an overall scale factor for equation (2), which
is a degree of freedom for the fits presented here. The latter
are easier to determine. From here on, p' will refer to the
sample density and not the electron density.

Scattering with a solvent: When a solvent is present in the
sample, it has the effect of reducing the electron density
contrast. The scattering of a sample and solvent can be
rewritten as:

FDA, Psa dP Hy, Prot dP )
where V,,, and V,,, are the volume over the sample and
solvent, respectively. Since the scattering of a uniform
sample is zero except at q=0, the solvent integral to integrate
over the full scattering volume V,,,,; Was Written:

FUG. qe0=h, Paaiei a

and the sum of the scattering of sample and solution is then
the difference of effective electron densities:
san-Psa Od?

FD =Svien co)

The effect of the solvent is to screen the scattering of the
sample, by reducing the density contrast. Thus, the scatter-
ing strength of samples of varying electron densities in
solution depends not on their absolute electron density, but
effective electron density difference. For cases of one type of
object of the same effective electron density in solution, this
is simply an overall scale factor and will be ignored. For
cases of multiple types of objects with different electron
densities each, this can be taken into account.

Form factor of a sphere: The form factor of a sphere is
well known and is:

Form Factor of a cylinder: The cylinder form factor for a
cylinder of height h and radius r is defined as:

where J; is the first order of the Bessel function of the first
kind.

Form factor of composite objects: More complex non-
overlapping objects can be modeled adding objects whose

form factor is known, shifted by some Ar and rotated by
rotation matrix R. Importantly, this can be done at the level
of the scattering amplitudes (and not the intensity) so that
interference between sub-components is correctly captured.

Page 94

US 12,548,243 B2

27

From (2), it is easily seen that a rotation and shift of an object
amounts to a rotation and phase shift in its form factor
amplitude:

FGARAP)=FG-RY 4”. wy

Thus addition of objects to form composite object consists
of the following sum:

FomposielDZjectieenF (GER Vea ()

where Ty and R, are the shift and rotation transformation of
each object, respectively. This is taken into account by the
ScatterSim library.

Polydispersity: Finally, object polydispersity can be intro-
duced. Since any sample contains a probability distribution
in its parameters, the form factor can be averaged over these
parameters. The probability distribution chosen here is the
Gaussian probability distribution. The form factor moments,
dependent on some parameter € with average value € and
standard deviation 6:

and
<IF(Qh?> =[PUDIF(Qh)Pdh (5)
where

neo? (16)
PGR 0) =0

is the Gaussian distribution. Note that this operation can be
performed multiple times over multiple parameters ¢, (for
example, cylinder radius, and orientation) so long as they are
uncorrelated. In the ScatterSim library, this is computed by
numerically integrating over a list of objects, or randomly
creating objects whose parameters are sampled from their
respective probability distributions and averaging their
resultant form factor amplitudes F(q) or form factor inten-
sities [F(q)?. For notational brevity, the symbol E can
signify an average over one or many of these uncorrelated
parameters.

Form factor intensity: a collection of objects freely float-
ing in solution will then yield an intensity:

Kg)P@)=s\FQ)”>, (dy)

where P(q) is known as the isotropic form factor intensity.

The scattered intensity was calculated by the ScatterSim
library. The scattered intensity of a periodic lattice is mod-
eled by:

TKg\=eZ (VG GQ4P@I-B@OG@)

where c is an overall scale factors, P(q) is the form factor
intensity of the composite object comprised of all objects in
the lattice (assuming their relative positional order and
orientation preserved), and

Finally, B(q) is defined as:

and arises from any polydispersity in parameters E. The
effect of G(q) for increasing thermal vibrations (or static
positional disorder) is to reduce the ordered scattering from
Z,(q) and increase the diffuse scattering from unordered
elements. The effect of B(q) is the same except that the
decreasing trend is not an exponential decay, but rather a
more complex trend that depends on the length scales of the
parameters €. In the cases involved here, B(q) is not con-
sidered.

Structure factor: The structure factor is defined as the ratio
of the scattered intensity [(q) from the lattice to the form
factor of the underlying sub-element, as if it was dispersed
in solution. Since for the most part the latter is not easily
obtained, it is estimated as described in further sections.
Both the structure factor for the respective data and calcu-
lated models are then normalized by this factor.

SAXS modeling results: The data was modeled using the
ScatterSim library using the theory described above. This
model has been validated, and successfully used to deter-
mine the structures of superlattices. This model accounts for
the lattice symmetry and unit cell size, particle shape and
various types of disorder such as vibrations, finite grain size
and polydispersity. The unit cell size and shape define the
peak positions, and the particle shape and disorder strongly
affect the relative peak heights. For some of the systems
modeled here, the particle shape is especially important as
the particle anisotropy modulates the peak heights in a
non-intuitive fashion. The ScatterSim library was extended®
to allow an easier method to compound more complex nano
objects that will be presented here.

Scattering of an octahedron: The DNA octahedron is the
central scaffold used in the nano-engineered superlattices
presented here. It is comprised of 12 bundles of 6 cylinders
formed into an octahedron shape (FIG. 30). It was modeled
by 12 cylinders representing each edge defined by the
cylinder radius rp,,4. cylinder height hp, and DNA octa-
hedron edge length L,,,, (FIG. 31). It was found that
modeling a 6-cylinder bundle with 1 larger cylinder was
sufficient, with no appreciable difference in computed mod-
els as compared to modeling each DNA duplex within the
bundle as a distinct cylinder. This simplification was chosen
to reduce computation times.

The DNA octahedron model: First, a superlattice of DNA
octahedra was measured, assembled in a cubic lattice of
lattice spacing apy, (FIG. 32). The scattering contrast of
DNA is approximately an order-of-magnitude weaker than
gold and so the scattering is 100 times weaker. To put this

Page 95

29

in perspective, in order to obtain a measurable scattering
signal at the CMS beamline, integration times of 100 s were
necessary, as compared to only seconds being required for
the superlattices containing gold nanoparticles. Both a sus-
pension of freely floating un-aggregated DNA octahedra,
and DNA octahedra assembled into a superlattice were
measured to obtain P(q) and I(q), respectively. Due to the
background scattering dominating the sample in the free-
floating DNA octahedra case, a control measurement of the
buffer solution without the sample was also measured, and
subtracted from it. The results can be seen in FIG. 33. One
can see that roughly the shape of the form factor P(q) aligns
with the superlattice scattering I(q). This suggests that the
DNA freely floating in solution retain the same shape as
those bound in the superlattice.

The model for the DNA octahedra: As mentioned previ-
ously, the ScatterSim model was modified to allow for the
computation of the scattering of more complex nano objects.
The octahedron was made by combining cylinders together,
as mentioned above (FIG. 32). The cylinder is assumed to be
centered on each edge, so that the length of the ends of the
cylinders to the vertices of the octahedron are all equal (FIG.
31). Ignoring a constant scale factor in absolute intensity, the
DNA octahedron is then defined solely by four free param-
eters: the height of each cylinder hpy,,, their radius tpy,, and
the edge length of the DNA octahedron L,,,, they combine
into (FIG, 31). The parameters used for these models involv-
ing DNA octahedra were rp,,4=3.0 nm, Npy.,=31.6 nm and
Lypy1=39.0 nm, with the best fit shown in FIG. 33. Polydis-
persity was then added by varying the DNA octahedron edge
length Ly, by 0, 20% Ly. leading to the green curve in
FIG. 33. Finally, the model is rescaled by a constant to
account for the overall scale factor.

When combined in a superlattice, the DNA octahedra
align in a cubic structure. The only defining parameter for
such a lattice is the length of one of the basis vectors, apy,4
The peak widths from the crystalline peak are modeled by
Lorentzian curves, defined by their full width half maximum.
(FWHM), o,. Finally, disorder from positional disorder
(and/or dynamic motion of objects) extinguishes higher-
order peaks through the Debye-Waller factor o,,,. Ignoring
scaling factors, the scattering of the superlattice is thus
defined by the free parameters: hpy.4, fpy4 and Lyx, for the
octahedra, as well as apyy, Op and Gpzy for the lattice.

The structure factor S(q) and its model are found in the
and FIG. 30. The structure factor here is taken by normal-
izing the data or simulated intensity by estimated form factor
for freely dispersed octahedra. As this form factor is not

measured confidently, it is estimated by an empirically 5

determined power law fit of q'° (FIG. 33).

Arange of possible models was assessed; the experimen-
tal data can only be explained using the proposed DNA
octahedron model. FIG. 34 shows the structure factor of a
model where the octahedra are rotated 45 degrees around
one of the unit cell basis vectors. The same estimated form
factor for freely dispersed DNA octahedra. There is a strong
disagreement between the data and this model, demonstrat-
ing that octahedron orientation is important. The strong
disagreement from a change in orientation can be under-
stood by viewing a 2D cross section of the modeled scattered
intensity in of the DNA octahedra in both cases (FIG. 35).
When the DNA octahedra are assembled in a simple cubic
lattice, this form factor is modulated by sharp peaks denoted
by the dots in the figure. Changing the DNA octahedra
orientation changes the modulation of the peaks and thus the
modulation of the peaks in the resultant 1D curve.

Finally, the shape of the octahedron is also crucial. This
is demonstrated by comparing the measured structure factor
to a case where the cylinders in the DNA octahedra (FIG. 31)
are replaced by spheres of radius 3 nm. There is clear
disagreement with the experimental data (FIG. 36). In this
case, the same estimated form factor for freely dispersed
DNA octahedra is used for ease of comparison. Other
models including large spheres, spherical shells, filled octa-
hedra, and hollow octahedra likewise did not yield agree-
ment.

DNA octahedra with quantum dots: A sample of DNA
octahedra with quantum dots (QDs) in a superlattice was
measured using SAXS. The same model of DNA octahedra
was used as the previous section. A quantum dot was then
added to the model, of radius tgp=2.5 nm and surrounded by
proteins of radius r,,,.,=2.5 nm (FIG. 37). The density of the
quantum dot is approximately 5.8 g/cm? ''. The streptavidin
protein is assumed to have roughly the same density as
DNA, near 1.7 g/cm? '?. All samples were modeled as
immersed in water of density 1 g/cm*. Three models were
computed: 1. DNA octahedra only, 2. QD and proteins only,
3. DNA octahedra with the QD and 6 proteins. The com-
puted model structure factors are compared with the data
and shown in FIG. 37. For the structure factors presented in
FIG. 3 of the main text, the same power law as mentioned
in section 3m was used for the model of freely dispersed
DNA octahedra and its variants. Models 1 and 2 are the
extreme cases, when either the scattering from the octahedra
or the quantum dots dominate the scattering, respectively. It
is found that neither of these scenarios can fit the data.
However, when combining the two together, and adjusting
the sizes of the protein and QD such that their scattering is
comparable to the DNA octahedra, one obtains relatively
good agreement between the modeled curve and the mea-
sured data. Since small changes in particle size or density
changes the overall scattered intensity of the samples in
question, an accurate measurement of the density is unnec-
essary in this case. Since the densities and particle sizes are
all approximate, the conclusion of this result is not to
confirm the particle sizes themselves, but that the presence
both the DNA octahedra and QD with protein objects are
necessary for the model to agree with the data.

Adding proteins: the results for DNA octahedra contain-
ing 6 internally-coordinated proteins, located near the ver-
tices, at d,,,,.=14.3 nm from the center of the octahedron are
shown (FIG. 38). For the structure factors presented in FIG.
4, the same power law as mentioned in section 3m was used
for the model of the freely dispersed DNA octahedra and its
variants. The difference in the scattering curves is extremely
subtle, owing to the small overall change in electron density
that the introduction of the proteins engenders. Nevertheless,
the computed model curve suggests differences in the scat-
tering curves at the same q-values, supporting the hypothesis
that the observed differences are a direct result of the protein
inclusion. (FIG. 39). In the model, the mass of the protein
was fixed to be roughly equal to the mass of one cylinder of
DNA. The density was assumed to be the same as that of the
DNA octahedra, and the radius was set to be 2.5 nm. At this
radius, the form factor contribution of the protein is rela-
tively flat, and variations in radii do not affect the results of
the model. Since the density is rescaled such that the total
mass of the protein remains the same, any variation in this
parameter does not lead to an appreciable change.

Model for DNA tetrahedron: A sample constructed of
DNA tetrahedra was also measured using SAXS. The DNA
tetrahedra model is shown in FIG. 40, and described using:
Tpna> Dpya and Lyx. The scattering of free tetrahedra was

Page 96

US 12,548,243 B2

31

experimentally unmeasurably weak. However, when com-
bined into a superlattice, the DNA tetrahedra give rise to
distinct structural peaks (FIG. 41). Since it is measured
directly, the form factor for the tetrahedra is estimated
empirically using a q” power law, as can be seen in FIG. 41.
This estimates the overall trend of the expected form factor
(the theoretical model for the form factor is shown in FIG.
41).

Four candidate superlattice models were computed and
compared to the data. The first model was a cubic arrange-
ment of tetrahedra, which is seen in FIG. 42. The tetrahedra
are rotated such that in this cubic arrangement, each tetra-
hedron vertex touches only one other tetrahedron. This is the
expected configuration given the steric packing constraints
for DNA tetrahedra vertices. The second model was a
hexagonal diamond arrangement of tetrahedra. Each tetra-
hedron is oriented such that each vertex connects to exactly
one vertex of another tetrahedron. The third model is a cubic
close-packed arrangement of tetrahedra. In this lattice, the
vertex of each tetrahedron connects to the three vertices of
three other tetrahedra. Finally, the fourth model is this same
model, but where the tetrahedra are placed further apart, so
as to account for the observed scattering peak position. The
models are compared to the data in FIG. 43.

The ‘close-packed’ cubic lattices configurations do not
correctly match the experimental data, and are also unlikely
on physical grounds. The cubic diamond and hexagonal
diamond arrangement of tetrahedra appear to agree with the
data, with cubic diamond more closely matching the experi-
mental data. Given the high degree of structural similarity
between cubic and hexagonal diamond arrangements, it is
possible that the experimental system is a principally cubic
diamond lattice with occasional hexagonal diamond defects.
Tn any case, the scattering curve suggests that tetrahedra are
arranging into a diamond-like configuration, where each
tetrahedron is connected to four neighbors along its vertices.

SC, FCC, BCC and diamond lattices: The SC, FCC, BCC,
and diamond of gold spheres in a DNA lattice are shown in
FIG. 44, FIG. 45, FIG. 46, and FIG. 47, respectively. In each
fit, a model of gold spheres was used. The DNA octahedra
were not modeled due to the fact that the origami effective
electron density is approximately one order-of-magnitude
smaller than the effective electron density of gold. In each
model, candidate fits for each BCC, FCC and simple cubic
are plotted. For the case of diamond, the second case of
cubic diamond is also plotted. The form factor used in the
structure factor S(q) was obtained from fitting the high q
term of the intensity to the known sphere form factor as in
FIG. 48.

Theoretical Considerations.

Wertheim’s theory: In order to provide a starting point, a
description of Wertheim’s theory for associating liquids is
provided. Briefly, an associating particle was defined as one
that possess both short-range and highly directional inter-
actions (FIGS. 49A-49B). By construction, the particles are
only attractive within the patchy regions and repulsive
everywhere else. Thus, the potential was decomposed into
their attractive and repulsive components, 0,(r) and 0,(r),
respectively.

where d is the particle diameter, I is the set containing all
N patchy sites in the system, and o and B define the subset
of patchy sites associated with the particles whose potential
is being evaluated. As a example, if an interacting particle
has n patchy sites, then o is the subset of I that identifies
those patchy sites G={Py_p.4, Vyggos + + Uycoen} with b
acting as a dummy indexing variable pointing to where
subset o exists in P.

Through the introduction of Mayer-f functions, f,,(r)=exp
[6(@7/kT]-1, density expansions, graph theory, and cluster
reductions, Wertheim showed that the exact Helmholtz free
energy for an associating fluid can be written as,

where p(1) is the single molecule density integrated over all

Broglie wavelength, G,_,, is a density operator representing
the density sums of subsets of a sites, and c is an graph set
that describe a sum from singlet to n-body interactions

P,(1) and p,(2) in the single patch bonding approximation
can be substituted out for the density operators G,_,, and
O,_g and interactions are summed over all sites associated
with particles o and B. This approximation gives a gener-
alized excess Helmholtz free energy for a homogeneous
multipatch particle system of the form:

Eg. 31-33 represent the major results determined by
Wertheim for a homogeneous associating fluid with multiple
bonding sites per particle.
Crystal Reference Derivation.

While the results provided by Wertheim provide an accu-
rate description for associating fluids, utilizing the hard-
sphere fluid as the reference state for a perturbation analysis
of crystalline structure will fail for lattice predictions as the
crystalline morphology deviates too far from that of a bulk
fluid to be properly captured by a first order approximation.
Here, the reference state to that of any crystalline structure
of interest was casted.

Similar to the two approximations made for singlet and
multiplet patchy particles, an approximate form for c that
accurately reflects the crystalline state was defined. In the
limit of a perfect crystalline structure, all particles are
connected into a single cluster, thus k=1. This singlet cluster
sum incorporates an infinite number of interactions as all
particles feel the effect of other particles

where the subscripts I, II, III etc indicate single-body,
two-body, three-body etc interactions, respectively. While
this reduces the analysis to only systems containing a single
cluster, the infinite sum over all possible n-body interactions
was not performed. To address this summation problem, the
short attraction constraint for the system was imposed.
Within this limit, only adjacent lattice points have a non-
vanishing contribution. As a result, the term that remains
corresponds to an s-body interaction where s represents the
crystal coordination number associated with a given lattice.
ce now reduces to a reference term and the corresponding
s-body interaction term:

where the subscipt Ii indicate the density of particle i. This
equation can employ a small perturbation about a reference
crystal lattice (defined by the radial distribution function
£.,(t)). While subtle, it is worth noting the key difference
between the two approximations. The free energy change
due to local perturbations about a homogeneous solution that
results from patchy associations is shown in certain ques-
tions. On the other hand, certain equations probe how
turning on association between particles already occupying
lattice sites further stabilizes the reference crystal structure.
It can be shown that the resulting equilibrium constant takes
the form:

rl 68)
Ks ae Se gate)

where 0(m, n) is a coordination saturation parameter that
depends on n, the number of patches, and m, the crystal
coordination number associated with the reference structure.
o(m, n) acting on f,(r) accounts for association of a refer-
ence particle to its neighbors within the crystal lattice. In the
limit where m2n, the reference particle possesses an excess
number of patches than required by the crystal coordination
number. Here, all attractions that stabilize the lattice are
satisfied and 6(m, n)=n, indicating that there are n bonds
formed per particle within the lattice.

In the opposite limit where m<n, the reference crystal has
a coordination number greater than that of the number of
patchy sites available on the particle. In those situations, the
energetic contribution from association is limit to the num-
ber of patches on the particle, thus o(m, n)=m. The pre-
factor p,”"'/a! accounts for both the indistinguishably and
probability of finding n—1 particles within the cutoff inter-
action distance. The free energy of lattice formation can then
be calculated via the relation AG=-kT In K..

Free energy decomposition: From standard thermody-
namics, the free energy of lattice formation can be decom-
posed into an enthalpic and entropic component AG=AH—
TAS. To assign a functional form to both AH and AS, the
expression for K. was simplified by introducing a binomial
expansion of the Mayer-f function to give:

The first and last terms has no energetic term and thus
correspond to the entropic contribution and whereas the
middle term containing the Boltzmann weight of the inter-
particle potential represents the enthalpic contribution to
AG, giving:

lattice—r,. Doing so allows us to define a approximation for
the crystal pair correlation function as g,,(r)=m8(r-r,).
where is indicates the crystal coordination number. Plugging
this approximation into the relations for AH and AS, assum-
ing that the highest ordered term in the free energy expan-
sion dominates, and normalizing by the number of patches
per patchy particle result in,

where U(r,)=u,. These results indicate that the enthalpic
contribution stems from patchy association between par-
ticles occupying each lattice site whereas the entropic com-
ponent comes from counting the number of ways the refer-
ence particles can find an associating particle within the
lattice. By inspection, AH dominates over AS, emphasizing
that patch-patch association drives lattice stabilization and
governs the morphological transition between the various
structures.

Design of patchy particle model: the cubic, octahedral and
tetrahedral nanocages have a degree of truncation at their
vertices to provide room for DNA linker placement and
facilitate hybridization interactions. To properly model the
patchy interactions, a relationship between the degree of
truncation and design parameters were derived (FIGS. 50A-
50C).

For the both cases, a parameter 6 is defined as the ratio
between the shortened vertex length h and the full length L.
A degree of truncation term 1 is defined as the ratio of the
center to truncated vertex to center to full vertex lengths. By
simple geometrical arguments, the degree of truncation 1 is
defined as a function of the ratio 6.

Example 3: Valence-Programmable Nanoparticle
Architectures 3

The disclosed subject matter provides a sphere-like DNA
mesh structure (FIG. 51A) as symmetric frames, which can
be programmed to exhibit different prescribed valence
modes, and consequently, used to coordinate nanoparticles
into pre-defined architectures. Moreover, specific positions
and types of bonds can be fully prescribed. This approach
can offer designability over different valence modes using
the same underlying high-symmetry frame, including vari-
ous subset symmetries, arbitrarily prescribed helix-like
valence, and valence with different types of affinities.
Accordingly, a variety of cluster architectures with single-
type and multi-type nanoparticles can be rationally formed.
Furthermore, using planar and spatial imaging and in situ s
scattering methods, such programmable frames can coordi-
nate nanoparticles into a variety of corresponding cluster
architectures possessing symmetric, helical, and site-specific
nanoparticle organizations.

Self-assembly of DNA meshframe: The sequences of 5:
staple strands were designed by vHelix28. Staple strands
(Integrated DNA Technologies) and M13mp18 scaffold
(Bayou Biolabs) were mixed in 0.5xTE buffer (5 mM Tris,
1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0, supplemented with 10 mM MgCl,).
The solution was annealed from 80° C. to 60° C. ata cooling
rate of 1 min/° C. and from 60° C. to 20° C. at a rate of 23
min’? C.

DNA modification of gold nanoparticles: The thiolated
DNA strands (HPLC, Integrated DNA Technologies) were
first reduced by tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine (TCEP)
solution (Sigma-Aldrich) with a molar ratio of 1:100 in the
water at 20° C. After the incubation for 1.5 h, the thiolated

&

s

DNA strands were purified by removing small molecules
with MicroSpin G-25 columns (GE Healthcare). Then the
purified thiolated DNA strands were mixed with aqueous
spherical gold nanoparticle (AUNP) solution (Ted Pella)
with a ratio of 300:1 for 10 nm AuNPs, 700:1 for 15 nm
AuNPs, 1000:1 for 20 nm AuNPs, and 2100:1 for 30 nm
AuNPs. After 2 h of incubation at 20° C., 10x phosphate-
buffered saline (PBS) (100 mM, pH 7.4) was added to bring
the final solution to be 1xPBS (10 mM, pH 7.4). For 15 nm,
20 nm, and 30 nm AuNPs, 10% SDS was added to bring the
final concentration to 0.01% SDS. After another 2 h of
incubation, stepwise addition of salting buffer (1xPBS buf-
fer with 2

M sodium chloride) increased the concentration of the
sodium chloride to 0.3 M. The solution was aged for 12 h.
To remove excess thiolated DNA strands, DNA-AuNP con-
jugates were washed four times by centrifuge. The super-
natant was removed, and the fresh washing buffer (1xPBS
buffer with 100 mM sodium chloride) was used to rinse and
disperse the DNA-AuNP conjugates. The purified DNA-
AuNP conjugates were quantified by measuring the absor-
bance at 520 nm on PerkinElmer Lambda 25 spectropho-
tometer.

Assembly and purification of AuNP clusters: DNA
meshframe was mixed with AuNPs with the ratio of 3 N:1
(N is the valency number) in 0.5xTE (supplemented with 10
mM MgCl.) and annealed from 50° C. to 20° C. for 12 h.
The annealed samples and 1 kb DNA molecular weight
marker (New England Biolabs) were loaded to a native 1.5%
agarose gel with 0.5xSYBR Gold (running buffer: 0.5xTBE
buffer, containing 44.5 mM Tris, 44.5 mM boric acid, and 1
mM EDTA, supplemented with 11 mM MgCl.) and gel
electrophoresis was performed at 60 volts for 3 h in an ice

bath. Target bands were excised and cut into small pieces.
The gel pieces were placed into Freeze *N Squeeze columns
(Bio-Rad Laboratories) and centrifuged at 3000xg for 5 min
to obtain purified AuNP clusters. For spherical helix clusters,
DNA mesh frame was first purified with agarose gel elec-
trophoresis as described above and quantified by measuring
the absorbance at 260 nm on PerkinElmer Lambda 35
spectrophotometer. Then, the purified DNA mesh-frame was
mixed with AuNPs with a ratio of 3 N:1 and annealed from
37°C. to 20° C. for 12 h. Finally, the annealed sample was
purified with agarose gel electrophoresis.

Negative-stained TEM: Three microliters of samples were
loaded on the glow-discharged, carbon-coated grid (300
mesh, Ted Pella) for 1 min, and the excess sample was
removed by a piece of filter paper. Next, the grid was
incubated in 2% uranyl acetate aqueous solution for 30 s,
followed by using a piece of filter paper to dry it. TEM
imaging was performed on a JEOL 1400 at 120 kV.

Cryogenic electron tomography: Copper mesh grids (Car-

bon Film 300 mesh, Copper, Ted Pella) were held for 10s 2

and glow discharged for 20 s. The cryogenic sample was
then prepared using the FEI Vitrobot with typical parameters
of3 uL sample, the temperature at 4° C., force at 0, humidity
at 100%, wait time 4 s, and blot time 5 s. The as-prepared
sample was transferred to a liquid nitrogen tank to be stored
for later use. A single tilt cryogenic tomography holder
(Gatan 626) was cooled down to below 90 K under liquid
nitrogen before the sample was loaded. The holder was then
inserted into the JEOL 1400 microscope to collect tomog-
raphy image series under 120 keV from around -60 degrees
to 60 degrees at 10 degree intervals. The original images
were first converted into a stack image using the ImageJ
software. Contrast inversion, image alignment, and tilt axis
refinement were carried out in Tomviz manually. The refined
image stack was further reconstructed into 3D volumes
using the Simultaneous Iterative Reconstructive Technique
(SIRT) algorithm embedded in Tomviz. The reconstructed
3D volumes were then filtered and segmented in Avizo
software to get the 3D center positions.

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS): SAXS measure-
ments were performed at BNL National Synchrotron Light
Source I] (NSLS-II) Complex Material Scattering (CMS)
beamline. The purified samples were injected into glass
capillary tubes for X-ray scattering experiments, which were
performed under room temperature. Structure factors S(q),
where q is the wavevector, were obtained by the radial
integration of 2D patterns and were divided by a nanopar-
ticle form factor obtained from the scattering of solution-
dispersed nanoparticles.

Measurements of circular dichroism and optical absorp- 5

tion for spherical helix clusters: Purified spherical helix
cluster was mixed with the Gold Enhancement reagent
(Nanoprobes) with a volume ratio of 1:0.3 and incubated at
room temperature for ~30 min-43 The circular dichroism
and optical absorption of helical clusters were measured by
a Jasco J-815 CD spectrometer.

Design of valence-programmable nanoparticle clusters:
The disclosed subject matter provides methods for program-
ing the desired nanoparticle (NP) cluster architecture using,
a DNA scaffold. It is advantageous to program the under-
lying scaffold to be capable of exhibiting the desired
valence. Moreover, such valence does not have to be limited
to symmetry modes found in atomic systems, but it can
address a wider space due to the ability to fully prescribe
bond locations and types. Although, in general, DNA-
binding sites can be placed in desired locations on the DNA
scaffold, the specific design and geometrical limitations of

the scaffold become restricting factors quickly. Indeed, the
overall shape of the DNA construct can have a major impact
on the nanoparticle-cluster architecture. In order to mini-
mize any effect arising from DNA-scaffold shape anisotropy,
such a scaffold can possess the symmetry.

In other words, it can be designed to be as close as
possible to a sphere. At the same time, it can provide binding
sites for nanoparticles around this topology. Such objects
can have the capability for bond programming in order to
afford different types of valence modes through the 3D
placement of specific binding sites on this object. Unlike
atomic systems, different sites can be distinguished through
orthogonal DNA-encoding, and this so-called polychro-
matic valence offers distinctive bonds for DNA-encoded NP
bindings. Such a desired programmable DNA object can
address the challenge of creating a designed cluster (FIG.
51A).

DNA origami was used to fabricate a sphere-like mesh
construct 28, which has a pentakis icosidodecahedron shape
(FIG. 51B). Icosahedral symmetry (Ih) is a common sym-
metry for polyhedrons approximating a sphere. This struc-
ture can contain vertices, with each vertex being a junction
of either five or six edges. 90% of the edges (108 of 120)
contain one DNA double helix and the other 10% contain
two DNA double helices, with an average length of -15.7
nm (-47 base pairs (bp), assuming 3.5 nm/10.5 bp for DNA
double helix). For this highly symmetrical object, the
desired vertex, surrounded either by six or eight helices, can
be used as a binding site for NPs by encoding six identical
single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) around it, i.e., incorporating
so-called “sticky ends” for NP binding. Such sticky ends
were designed with a 2-base inner spacer region and 11-base
outer recognition region. By choosing and encoding desired
subgroups of vertices on a sphere-like meshframe, a desired
valence mode was designed while maintaining the shape of
the underlying DNA scaffold. Subsequently, DNA-capped
NPs can bind to those designated sites and form designed
cluster architectures. Furthermore, polychromatic valence
can be generated by encoding the meshframe with different
types, or sequence specificities, of sticky ends to recognize
different correspondingly encoded NPs. Using this method,
NP assemblies with symmetric valence, such as a five-fold
cluster, nanoclusters with arbitrary valence, such as a spheri-
cal helix cluster, and multitype nanoclusters, such as a
three-component chiral cluster, were achieved as demon-
strated in FIG. 51B.

FIGS. 51A and 51B show a nanoparticle-cluster self-
assembly directed by the valence-programmable DNA
meshframe. FIG. 51A: Conceptual illustration of a nanopar-
ticle (NP) cluster coordinated by sphere-like frame structure
with arbitrarily prescribed valence modes and different types
of binding affinities (shown as colors). Designated vertices
provide binding affinities to corresponding DNA-encoded
NPs (shown with matched colors). FIG. 51B: Designed
DNA meshframe origami, pentakis icosidodecahedron (gray
skeleton), for programming designed NP cluster architec-
tures. Zoomed-in vertex shows that it is formed by six edges,
with each edge consisting of one double helix. Dark gray
lines indicate staple strands and light gray lines indicate a
templating DNA. The DNA meshframe can be encoded by
introducing ssDNA around the vertex. An encoded vertex is
zoomed-in to show that six identical sticky ends (green
curves) protrude from a designated vertex. Sticky ends
anchored on designated vertices form valence modes of
triangular bipyramid and helix (top and middle). Distinctive
sets of sticky ends (strands with different colors) can be
anchored at designated vertices (middle and bottom). NPs

(red balls), capped with complementary DNA shells, are
assembled into designed clusters through their coordination
around the meshframe corresponding with the programmed
vertices, for example (from top to bottom): symmetric
nanocluster, arbitrarily prescribed nanocluster with chiral
helical valence mode, and multitype NP cluster.

Symmetric architectures: First, to explore the valence-
programmability of the DNA sphere-like meshframe, a class
of frames with various symmetric valence modes was
designed, from two to six, corresponding to the geometries
of dumbbell, triangle, square, triangular bipyramid (TBP),
and octahedra, respectively (FIG. 52A). NPs functionalized
with DNA can bind through hybridization to complemen-
tary-encoded sites, resulting in the assembly of matching
clusters with designed architectures (FIG. 52B).

To fabricate the programmable meshframes, M13mp18
scaffold was annealed with a specific set of staple strands.
Then, the preassembled frames were mixed and annealed
with gold NPs (AuNPs, 10 nm core diameter) to construct
NP clusters, followed by purification with agarose gel elec-
trophoresis. Representative TEM images demonstrate the
projections of five types of nanoclusters, consistent with
corresponding designs (FIG. 52C). In comparison with
AuNPs, stained meshframe edges formed by only one or two
duplexes, have a weak contrast. Different projections of
these clusters were observed, with some clusters being
deformed on a TEM grid due to the limited rigidity of
meshframe that did not withstand drying process during a
TEM sample preparation. Statistical analysis shows a high
yield for all assembled types of the cluster architectures:
—90% of dumbbell, triangular and square nanoclusters show
the correct number and positions of NPs (of —500 for each
type of cluster), and >80% for TBP and octahedral nano-
clusters exhibit expected morphology (of —400 for each type
of cluster) (FIG. 52D). TEM statistics also shows that -99%
of binding sites on the meshframe are occupied by NPs. A
high NP attachment yield per binding site owes to the
rational design of sticky-end distribution and binding
strength. Among the occupied sites, 98% are specifically
bound by individual particles as designed, and 2% are shared
by two particles. The double occupancy phenomenon results
from non-equilibrium hybridization, where a second NP
binds before all sticky ends at a given site can connect with
the first NP. This effect of double occupancy is reduced for
larger NPs. For example, clusters assembled with 20 nm
AuNPs show 99% meshframe site occupancy by individual
NPs and that only 1% of sites are shared by two NPs.

To reveal the spatial arrangement of NPs in the assembled
3D nanoclusters, such as TBP and octahedra arrangement,
cryo-EM based tomography was employed. FIG. 52E shows
that the five NPs of the reconstructed TBP cluster are
arranged in a designed manner. To quantify TBP cluster
structural parameters, distances between NPs on the diago-
nal (one d1) were measured, on the horizonal triangular
plane (three d2) and on the lateral plane (six d3). The
distances agree well with designed values, indicating the
precise, successful arrangement of NPs on the sphere as
shown in FIG. 52E, bottom. Similarly, tomographic mea-
surement, and reconstruction were carried out for an octa-
hedral nanocluster, and the results also demonstrate (FIG.
52F) an excellent correspondence between the targeted and
realized architectures of the interparticle distances (three dl,
twelve d3).

FIG. 52 shows structures of NP cluster architectures

TEM and cryo-TEM tomography. FIG. 52A (From top to

valence numbers: two, three, four, five, and six, correspond-

octahedra, respectively. FIG. 52B shows NPs decorated with
DNA are assembled into clusters, whose architecture is
determined by the meshframe valence mode. FIG. 52C
shows representative negative-stained TEM images of

structure of TBP cluster from cryo-TEM based tomography
(top). Designed center-to-center distances between NPs
(bottom, shadow columns): d1=64.8 nm, d2=56.1 nm, and
d3=45.8 nm. Measured distances between NPs of one recon-
structed cluster (bottom, solid columns): d1=64.6 nm,
d2=55.842.7 nm, and d3=46.1+2.1 nm. FIG. 52 F shows
reconstructed 3D structure of octahedral cluster by cryo-
TEM tomography (top). Designed NP distances (bottom,
shadow columns): d1=64.8 nm and d3=45.8 nm, and mea-
sured cryo-TEM tomography distances averaged over two
independently reconstructed clusters (bottom, solid col-
umns): d1=66.3+2.0 nm and d3=46.943.8 nm. Error bars
indicate standard deviation of experimental data.

To probe the structures of formed clusters in the actual
buffer conditions in which the clusters were assembled, in
situ synchrotron-based small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)
was employed. Purified nanoclusters, dispersed in solution,
were placed in a quartz capillary, and then probed at room
temperature by a collimated X-ray beam (1=0.92 A) at the
Complex Materials Scattering (CMS) beamline of National
Synchrotron Light Source If (NSLS-ID at Brookhaven
National Laboratory. The scattering pattern was collected
with a Dectris Pilatus3x2 M pixel-array detector and con-
verted to 1D scattering intensity versus wavevector transfer,
q. Structure factor, S(q), for each nanocluster was extracted
from the 1D scattering intensity by subtracting background
and dividing the intensity by the form factor of AuNPs41,42
(FIG. 53A), which was measured for dispersed AuNPs.
Interparticle center-to-center distances are derived by fitting
S(g) with the function below:

N is the NP number in a specific designed cluster, and d,, is

For dumbbell and triangular nanoclusters, only one type of
interparticle distance exists, which is d1 between diagonal
nanoparticles in the dumbbell nanocluster and d2 between
nanoparticles on the triangular plane in the triangular nano-
cluster. For the square nanocluster, two types of interparticle
distances, dl between diagonal nanoparticles and d3
between adjacent nanoparticles, exist. The average interpar-
ticle distances for five-cluster architectures are d1=68.1+0.3

which are close to the expected values based on the design:
d1=64.8 nm, d2=56.1 nm, and d3=45.8 nm.

Arbitrarily designed cluster: spherical helix architecture:
To demonstrate the versatility and flexibility of this assem-
bly strategy for creating complex and arbitrarily designed
clusters, an architecture in which NPs are located in a helical
pattern on the surface of sphere-like DNA object (FIG. 54)
was implemented. DNA meshframe was programed to have
13 binding sites at designated vertices, encoding a left-
handed spherical helix cluster formed by 13 NPs (FIG.
54A). Two different sets of sticky ends, placed in alternating
order between the sites, with five identical sequences per site
are used. By alternating these two distinctive sets of sticky
ends, site competition was reduced between neighboring
NPs and thus increase the accuracy of NP localization on the
designated vertices. Accordingly, two types of 10 nm AuNPs
decorated with different DNA shells are used to bind with
the helically positioned binding sites. For this high valence
DNA scaffold, an excess of DNA staple strands used in
scaffold formation can be removed before mixing with NPs,
in order to minimize inter-cluster crosslinking. The mixtures
of purified meshframes and AuNPs were annealed from 37°
C. to 20° C. for 12 h, followed by purification with agarose
gel electrophoresis and analysis with negative-stained TEM.
Representative TEM images show that the NP cluster
matches the designed helical morphology (FIG. 54B left),
with 88.4% of binding sites occupied by NPs (FIG. 54B,
right), as measured from 611 clusters. This yield is lower
than that of symmetric clusters discussed above (-99%), due
to more complex NP arrangements in a helical pattern and
stronger steric interactions between adjacent DNA-capped
AuNPs

To unravel information regarding particle organization for
the spherical helix valence mode on the meshframe, cryo-
TEM-based tomography was used to characterize the 3D
structure of individual clusters. To establish a comparison
with a prescribed helical valence arrangement, the particle
sites on the sphere-like meshframe were numbered from 1 to
13 (FIG. 54C, left). Seven particles (Particle 4-10) are
located on the equatorial plane of the sphere. Particle 1 and
Particle 13 are located on the summits of Upper (U) and
Lower (L) hemispheres, respectively. The structure was
projected from both the U and L summits. For visual
guidance, in the center of the cluster, a gray sphere was

added, whose radius is equal to the distance between the 5

meshframe center and NP surface. Both projections show a
uniform NP arrangement on the equatorial plane and NP
positions on the upper and lower hemispheres (FIG. 54C,
right).

The reconstructed nanocluster is presented in both 3D
view and 2D projections in FIG. 54D, where a gray sphere
provides visual guidance as FIG. 54C. The coordinate of
sphere center and sphere radius are fitted using the obtained
3D coordinates of all NPs (numbered 1-13) in the recon-
structed cluster. The tomography results (FIG. 54D, left)
show that seven NPs (Particles 4-10) are on the equatorial
plane, three NPs (Particle 1-3) on the upper sphere, and three
(Particles 11-13) on the lower sphere. The visualized 3D
spherical helix pattern of NPs matches well with the
designed helical cluster architecture. The U and L projec-
tions (FIG. 54D, right) demonstrate that Particles 4-10 are
arranged relatively uniformly on the equatorial plane. The

locations of Particles 1-3 and Particles 11-13 indicate that
their placement pattern corresponds to a left-handed chiral-
ity, which agrees with the prescribed valence mode. Small
NP shifts (-5 nm) from expected positions are observed in
the recon-structed structure, which can result from interpar-
ticle repulsion and sample preparation for imaging. Since
each binding site has multiple sticky ends, NPs can hybrid-
ize at slightly different configurations at the same site, which
affects the precision of a NP placement. Although there are
twelve values of interparticle center-to-center distances (D)
for clusters with thirteen NPs (FIG. 54E), there are only two
different D in our designed locations of NPs due to two types
of edge lengths of the meshframe: ten D values are of 20.2
nm and the other two of 22.8 nm. Since the diameter of 10
nm AuNPs with DNA shells is -20 nm (21 nucleotide (nt)
for the DNA shell), which is close to the designed D value,
steric repulsion can result in some displacement of NPs.
Tomograph measurements show a small increase of D
(24.024.9 nm) over its two design values, as averaged from
three independently reconstructed clusters. Such an increase
of D is consistent with the SAXS measurements, which
show a corresponding shift of the primary scattering peak
that arises from nearest neighbor interparticle distances.
Another obtained value is the distance between the center of
meshframe and the center of individual AuNP in the nano-
cluster (FIG, 54E), R=34.5+3.8 nm, which matched well the
expected value (d1/2=32.4 nm) and SAXS measurements
(68.1/2=34.0 nm). The SAXS measurements for spherical
helical clusters provide coarse information about internal
cluster organization due to the sensitivity of a structure
factor to an interparticle distance distribution of interparticle
distances in comparison to the symmetrical cluster.

In solution, the optical absorption spectrum of spherical
helix clusters, with characteristic absorption peak at 520 nm,
closely resembled the surface plasmon resonance (SPR)
mode of individual AuNPs, which indicates a weak coupling
between NPs. Due to the chiral nature of the helical cluster
of plasmonic NPs, a different absorption for incident light of
left and right circular polarization can lead to a circular
dichroism (CD) signature near the SPR. To enhance the
plasmonic resonance through interparticle coupling, NP size
increases to -13 nm using gold enhancement reagent; this
also decreases interparticle distances accordingly. A corre-
sponding plasmonic redshift from 520 nm to 532 nm (FIG.
54F) was observed. A positive CD signal was detected at
wavelength shorter than 500 nm, with a negative dip around
the SPR peak. This observation is consistent with our
numerical simulation of the absorption and CD spectra of
AuNP spherical helix clusters (FIG. 54G), using discrete
dipole approximation (DDA). This type of cluster combines
a helical arrangement of NPs with overall spherical shape,
and that compact and symmetric design is distinct from
previously reported bar-like clusters with a spiral NP
arrangement.

FIG. 54 shows design and structural and optical charac-
terization of the spherical helix NP cluster. FIG, 54.4 shows
a schematic of the spherical helix NP cluster. The spherical
helix valence mode is realized for the meshframe by pro-
gramming two alternating sets of sticky ends (green and
purple, with five strands) at desired vertices. Two types of
AuNPs with identical 10 nm core size but distinct DNA
shells are directed through the hybridization to binding sites
and assembled into a spherical helix cluster. FIG. 54B shows

Multitype nanoparticles clusters: The addressability of the
sphere-like DNA meshframe not only allows prescribing
directional valence through the location of binding sites, but
also encoding each site independently such that it provides
aflinity only to the NP with matching encoding, as deter-
mined by the complementarity between sticky ends at the
vertex and ssDNA in a given NP shell. This encoded,
so-called polychromatic valence can open opportunities for
assembly of multitype NP cluster architectures (FIG. 55). As
a demonstration of this capability, a meshframe was pro-
gramed with two- (FIG. 55A, I-II) and three-color valence
modes (FIG. 55A, III-V) for assembly of different multitype
NP clusters based on the same five-fold directional valence
(FIG. 55B) discussed previously. Specifically, the binding
sites of a TBP linking frame (labelled 1-5, FIG. 55A) are
encoded independently with two and three sets of sticky
ends. AuNPs with diameters of 10 nm (P1), 15 nm (P2), 20
nm (P3), and 30 nm (P4) were coated with specific DNA
shells that are complementary to respective sticky ends on
the meshframe. Guided by this polychromatic valence, dif-
ferent types of AuNPs were anchored to prescribed sites.
FIG. 56 (1) shows a two-component nanocluster with
three-fold symmetry, with two P3 particles located at sites 1
and 2 and three P1 particles at sites 3, 4, and 5, providing a

label of P1(345)P3(12). Similarly, a nonsymmetric two- 5

component nanocluster P1(245)P4(13) was designed and
assembled (FIG. 55B (II)). Then, a three-color valence
meshframe was used to form symmetric and nonsymmetric
nanoclusters: P1(345)P2(2)P3(1) with three-fold symmetry
(FIG. 55B (III)), nonsymmetric achiral P1(245)P2()P3(1)
(FIG. 55B (IV)) and nonsymmetric chiral P1(24)P2(3)P3
(15) (FIG. 55B (V)). Representative TEM images show that
the NP arrangements for all five hetero-clusters based on the
sphere-like meshframe with polychromatic valence agree
well with our design (FIG. 55C). The statistical analysis
indicates that this hetero-cluster assembly process can be
realized with relatively high yield, with -80% of correct NP
composition (out of -420 clusters for each cluster type)
(FIG. 55D).

To obtain information about the spatial arrangement of
NPs in multitype NP clusters, nonsymmetric chiral cluster
(P1(24)P2(3)P3(15)) was evaluated using cryo-TEM tomog-

that three types of AuNPs are arranged in the designed
manner, with two P3 particles at vertices 1 and 5, one P2
particle at vertex 3 and two P1 particles at vertices 2 and 4.
The interparticle distances were obtained from eight recon-
structed nanoclusters. The center-to-center distances
between diagonal NPs (d12) and between NPs on the
horizonal triangular plane (d34, d45, and d35) are in excel-
lent agreement with the designed values (FIG. 55E, right).

The disclosed subject matter provides methods for assem-
bly of designed nanoparticles clusters using valence-pro-
grammable DNA mesh-frame with 3D control of NP posi-
tions and incorporation of different types of NPs. Spatially
and type-defined (polychromatic) valence modes can be
rationally designed and programmed using a highly sym-
metric, sphere-like frame that serves as a universal 3D
scaffold for coordinating NPs in designed 3D patterns.
Nanoclusters with symmetric and arbitrary valence modes
can be created with high yield and high structural fidelity,
including different prescribed symmetries and helical orga-
nizations. The polychromatic valence can permit assembly
of multitype NP clusters. The quantitative agreement
between the designed and assembled structures was dem-
onstrated using a combination of TEM, tomography and
X-ray scattering methods. A demonstrated, broadly appli-
cable valence-programmable assembly strategy opens new
routes for the rational fabrication of NP architectures via
self-assembly, with customized architectures, compositions,
and function.

Example 4: Engineering Organization of DNA
Nano-Chambers Through Dimensionally Controlled
and Multi-Sequence Encoded Differentiated Bonds

The disclosed subject matter provides a nanoscale system
that possesses the following features (FIGS. 56 and 57): (i)
a rigid 3D semiclosed cuboid geometry that can carry
nanocargo; (ii) differentiated bonds, through DNA-encod-
ing, for prescribing interobject connectivity in three

Page 118

15

orthogonal directions and their local alignments; (iii) mul-
tisequence encoding of bonds (polychromatic bonds) within
each axis that have a robust prescription of interactions
along with control over a relative orientation of objects. As
the fundamental building block, a DNA nano-chamber
(DNC), a hollow DNA cuboid, was used. Such an object has
an intrinsically relatively low symmetry, which well sup-
ports the designability of complex architectures, has well-
defined internal arrangement of duplexes, and possesses an
internal compartment that allows it to host a nanoparticle or
a molecule or a biomolecular complex. Two openings of the
DNC also permit the ease of inserting and release of
nanocargo. Thus, the DNC combines a simple yet relevant
geometrical shape with a potential utility for exploring
assembly using differentiated bonds. A facile approach to
regulate the programmable assembly of these blocks into
multidimensional ordered arrays with different degrees of
complexity through control of differentiated polychromatic

bonds (FIG. 57B). Using electron microscopy and in situ 2

X-ray scattering methods, engaging bonds along one (Z),
two (X,Y) and three (X, Y, Z) axes that results in the
formation of 1D, 2D, and 3D ordered arrays, respectively
were observed, while the strength of the bonds and their
differences have effect on the assembled structures. The
disclosed subject matter also provides the resultant arrays
that can serve as versatile platforms to coordinate the
organization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).

Design of DNA Nanochamber and Establishment of Dif-
ferentiated Polychromatic Bonds: The disclosed subject
matter provides building blocks (DNCs) with bonds that are
fully differentiated in the X, Y, and Z directions and within
each axis (FIG. 57A). DNC binding properties can be
determined by 6 unique types of bonds: X-, X+, Y-, Y+, Z-,
and Z+. They are referred as X, Y, and Z bonds. Moreover,
each bond was encoded via multisequence strands, so-called
“sticky ends”, that offer a high degree of uniqueness for
encoding, orthogonality of interactions, orientation, and
positioning control. Since each sticky end is encoded with a
distinct DNA sequence, it is referred to as color, and this
differentiation allow us to establish polychromatic X, Y, and
Z bonds. The bonds are located at the well-defined positions
along the surface of the DNC. The assembly of DNC
monomers into a larger-scale organization is dictated by
these polychromatic bonds, while the specific details of
bonds can influence the assembly process. The disclosed
subject matter offers the designability of anisotropic and
differentiated bonds for engineering ordered arrays using the
same basis nanoobject, the DNA nanochamber.

DNC can include a total of 80 DNA duplex cylinders was 5

duplexes. Binding strands for inter-chamber connections can
be independently tuned and are located in the middle of the
DNC walls for XY directions and at the edges of the DNC
opening for Z direction. Each binding strand consists of an
8-base recognition sequence (sticky ends) and a 22-base
poly-T DNA spacer. The poly-T spacers endow the flexibil-
ity of linkages and mediate steric effects, both of which are
beneficial for DNC-DNC recognition during assembly. In
addition to differentiated bonds along orthogonal X, X*,
YY, Y*, Z, and Z* axes, all of the 8-base sticky ends within
each axis are entirely distinct as denoted by different num-
bers (e. g., 1-16 in XY). Not only do these polychromatic
bonds enable the connected DNCs to align correctly and
prevent uncontrolled shifting, but, more importantly, they
also endow orientational control of monomers within

ordered arrays. These design principles of programmable
polychromatic bonds are applied to 1D, 2D, and 3D assem-
blies.

DNA Nanochamber Construction and Nanoparticles
Encapsulation: DNC was formed by folding an M13mp18
single-stranded (ss) scaffold with 224 short staple oligonu-
cleo-tides (FIG. 58A), through slowly cooling from 80° C.
to room temperature. The successful formation of DNC was
first analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis (FIG. 58B).
The gel-purified products were then examined by negative-
staining transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Hollow
DNA frames with a height of 28 nm were observed (FIG.
58C), which unambiguously confirmed the formation of the
designed construct. Cryo-TEM was utilized to further verify
the DNC structure. As shown in FIG. 58D, hollow cuboid
architectures with a central cavity of 25 nm and wall
thickness of -5 nm can be visualized directly, in good
agreement with double layer packing of DNA helix. The
binding strands for inter chamber ligation can be readily
incorporated through introducing selected staple strands
containing extension sequences of sticky ends during the
DNA origami folding protocol (see DNC with bonds in FIG.
58A).

DNCs can be encoded with internal and external anchor-
ing strands for carrying nanocargo, in this case AuNPs,
within the cavity or outside of the sidewall (FIG. 58E),
respectively. The integration of DNCs and AuNPs was
achieved by annealing the DNCs encoded with anchoring
strands and AuNPs functionalized with complementary
ssDNA strands. The AuNPs and DNCs (e.g., 60 WL of 10
nM) were mixed in a stoichiometric ratio of 2.5:1, and
subjected to an overnight annealing procedure. As illustra-
tive examples, AuNPs with core diameters of 10 nm (18-
base DNA shell) and 20 nm (18-base DNA shell) were
employed to coordinate with the DNCs, respectively. TEM
imaging after gel purification confirms a successful encap-
sulation of 10 nm AuNPs in the DNCs with a yield of 93%
(FIG. 58F), and a binding of 20 nm AuNPs onto the sidewall
with a yield of 81% (FIG. 58G). It is worth noting that each
cavity (25 nm) and sidewall (28 nm) can accommodate only
one DNA-coated AuNP, which is essential for controlling
the arrangement of AuNPs within ordered arrays.

1D Assembly of DNA Nanochambers: By utilizing DNCs
with fully prescribed binding characteristics as underlying
building blocks, the disclosed subject matter provides the
assembly of 1D linear arrays, which can represent a
nanoscale polymer analog. The use of differentiated bonds
and type-encoded DNCs allows constructing of a variety of
nanoparticle architectures including homopolymers,
sequence-prescribed heteropolymers, and helical polymers.
To assemble the chain-like 1D arrays, sticky ends are placed
as extensions of selected staples at the end of the DNA
duplex along the Z-axis. Two types of DNCs (e.g., Z and Z')
containing sticky ends complementary to each other were
designed, giving rise to two kinds of bifunctional monomers.
For each monomer, up to 32 binding strands can be attached
at the predefined locations of DNC edges (FIG. 57B), where
their 8-base sticky end sequences are completely different
from each other. This multisequence encoding along the
Z-axis allows for a high degree of specificity of DNC-DNC
bindings and for controlling their relative orientation along
Z direction. 8-base sticky ends were selected because their
melting temperatures are within a favorable experimental
annealing temperature window (20-50° C.). 6-base or
10-base sticky ends were tested using identical annealing
protocol. Unconnected or aggregated structures were
observed. Therefore, 8-base sticky ends design was used.

Analogous to classic step-growth polymerization, the liga-
tion of DNCs was induced by slowly cooling mixtures
containing equal amount of two monomers (typically, 100
uL of 10 nM). To enable a proper antiparallel directionality
for the hybridization of sticky ends, Z' monomer was spe-
cifically designed to rotate 900 clockwise relative to Z
monomer in the direction of polymerization.

The disclosed DNC system with Z bonds can have a
similarity with a classic step-growth polymerization, for
which the prerequisite of synthesizing long polymer chains
is highly reactive monomers. In order to identify the high
“reactivity” for 1D growth, the chain formation was evalu-
ated by varying the number of sticky ends on each side of
DNC (from 8, 16, 24 to 32). When 8 sticky ends were used,
oligomers with an average of 4 monomers long were
observed. By increasing the number of sticky ends to 16,
both oligomers and polymers were yielded with an average
of 8 monomers per chain. Further increase of sticky end
number (24 and 32) results in longer nanopolymer chains.
Notably, using 32 sticky ends, discrete chains with microm-
eter lengths containing on average 30 monomers were
obtained (FIG. 59A). The formation of chains without which
disordered aggregates was observed. Annealing involves a
slow cooling of the sample from 50 to 20° C. During this
process, there is a temperature window within which quasi-
equilibrium assembly occurs with reversible bindings of
individual sticky ends. For an assembly regime within this
favorable temperature window (FTW), the growth rate can
depend on the inter-DNC interaction strength and binding
probabilities, which for the given sticky end motifs are
determined by the number of sticky ends. Since all systems
follow the same annealing protocol, the same amount of
time was spent in the FTW. This results in the assembly of
the longest chains for the 32 sticky ends design, which has
the largest attraction interaction among the discussed sys-
tems.

On the basis of the design of 32 sticky ends, different
types of linear AuNPs chains were fabricated via a “one-pot”
assembly process, where DNA-coated AuNPs, Z, and Z'
DNCs encoded with internal anchoring strands were simply
mixed and annealed to grow 1D nanoparticles arrays. This
process is referred as a “one-pot” because AuNPs loading
and DNC polymerization occur concurrently in one anneal-
ing protocol. To ensure satisfactory loading efficiency of
AuNPs, the following features were implemented: (i) stron-
ger bonds, based on 12-base internal anchoring strands, for
AuNPs encapsulation, in comparison with 8-base sticky
ends for polymerization and (ii) the excess of AuNPs (molar
ratio AuNPs/DNC=2/1). This one-pot approach is also

applied to the 2D and 3D assembly. The alternating/homo- 5

chains that are alternatively/fully filled with 10 nm AuNPs
were produced by encoding single (Z or Z'V/both (Z and Z')
DNC monomers with internal anchoring strands. The
desired nanostructures were directly visualized from TEM
images in FIGS. 59B and 59C, with a success rate of 83%
and 89% for filling alternating chains and homochains with
AuNPs, respectively.

Given a full prescription of bonds and DNCs encoding for
both external and internal connections, the presented
approach for constructing polymer-like chains is both robust
and versatile. It can be adapted to build chains with increas-
ing complexity and arbitrary order of different monomers.
To demonstrate this versatility, four different kinds of DNCs
were specifically designed (e. g., A, B, C, and D), whose
complementary sticky ends allow for connecting with each
other sequentially (FIG. 59D). Upon annealing in a rigorous
equal molar ratio, the desired nanoscale heteropolymer with

a definitive sequence of ABCD was produced. Notably, the
sequence-controlled chains offer a platform for controlled
nanoparticle arrangement in a complex linear array. For
example, the disclosed subject matter provides a nanoarchi-
tecture in which two filled and two empty DNCs are
alternatively arranged (FIG. 59E). Within this nano-archi-
tecture, monomers A and B are designed with internal
anchoring strands to capture 10 nm AuNPs, while monomers
C and D do not have these strands.

To stress the significance of monomer orientation control
through multisequence bonds, a helical organization was
created within the 1D array by placing 20 nm AuNPs on the
specifically designated sidewall of four types (A, B, C, and
D) of DNCs. This assembly requires the specific orientation
of monomers relative to their adjacent neighbors, and the
discussed multisequence scheme permits for such a realiza-
tion (FIG. 59D). The defined 1D arrays with helical nan-
oparticle organization were successfully fabricated and veri-
fied by TEM imaging (FIG. 59F). While certain studies used
a single DNA origami construct as a template for the
fabrication of AuNPs helices, the disclosed helical organi-
zation is derived from the assembly of multiple types of
DNC monomers. As each monomer can be independently
programmed, this can provide new opportunities to tailor
chiral organizations in terms of their length, composition,
and architecture, and potentially allow for dynamic regula-
tion of the formed structures.

2D Assembly of DNA Nanochambers: Four-fold symme-
try of DNC in the lateral direction (XY, FIG. 57B) permits
for the manipulation of 2D square arrays by encoding bonds
on four sidewalls of adjacent, complementary DNCs (e. g.,
XY and X'Y’). Up to four distinct, sticky ends with a defined
order were used to prescribe a recognition zone on each
DNC face along the center-line in the XY plane of each
sidewall. This encoding provides positioning restrictions
ensuring the ligation of two neighboring DNCs in the same
plane, whereas the implementation of distinct sequences for
face-to-face bonds prevents any undesired lateral shifting.

To induce 2D array formation, equal amounts of two
complementary DNC mixtures were subjected to a 48 h
annealing process (cooling from 50 to 20° C.). FIGS.
60A-60D demonstrate the successful assembly of 2D arrays
for the different number of sticky ends in the XY-plane (total
per DNC: 4, 8, 12, and 16, or per DNC’s face: 1, 2, 3, and
4). For 4 sticky ends, the binding strength is too weak to
bridge neighboring DNCs (FIG. 60A). As the number of
sticky ends increases from 8 to 12, and finally to 16, the
average domain size of 2D arrays increases dramatically
from 22 to 45 to 156 DNCs per array (FIGS. 60B-60E),
respectively. This positive correlation between the number
of sticky ends and the size of the 2D array to the increased
inter-DNC hybridization energy and binding probability was
observed. The process of lattice formation occurs during
annealing in the FTW, similar to the 1D case. The same
mechanism (as discussed for 1D case) is realized for 2D
system: the growth rate within FTW influences the size of
the crystalline domain, and that rate is higher for the larger
number of the sticky ends. With 16 sticky ends, the forma-
tion of the prescribed large-domains of DNC 2D lattice was
observed (FIG. 60D). Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)
characterization reveals a scattering profile for 2D square
lattices. The scattering peaks corresponding to Bragg reflec-
tion planes and their positions agree well with the modeled
scattering. The center-to-center distance of two adjacent
DNCs is 44.2 nm based on the first-order peak and is
consistent with that measured from TEM observations.

These results validate that the formation of 2D ordered
arrangements of DNCs within the XY-plane occurs in bulk.
To further understand the results on the assembly of the
2D DNC arrays, molecular dynamics simulations were per-
formed. A cubic hard object was used as a proxy for the
designed DNC and the Kern-Frenkel potential to mimic
inter-DNC bonds. In order to reflect the specificity of bonds
in the experimental system, different types (“colors”) of
bonds were designed for each sticky end strand on the cube,
wherein only the same color of bonds can bind to each other.
Using Monte Carlo simulation of hard polyhedral
(HOOMD-blue package), the systems were cooled with 4, 8,
12, and 16 bonds down from high temperature and caleu-
lated the average assembled cluster sizes (FIGS. 60E-60H).
Similar to the experimental findings, the average cluster size
becomes larger as the number of bonds increase from 4 to
16. This effect is due to a higher growth rate of ordered
domains for a larger number of sticky ends. The simulation
indicates that the crystallization rate can significantly affect
the final size of the clusters, and the binding probability
enhances as the number of bonds increases, leading to larger
sizes of clusters within the same simulation time scale.

Next, DNCs that were encoded with internal anchoring
strands to form 2D lattices of AuNPs were used. With the
design of 16 bonds per DNC, 2D lattices of AUNPs were
produced via a one-pot protocol where AuNPs were
annealed with DNCs (molar ratio: AUNPs/DNC=2/1). TEM
observation and well-defined SAXS pattern validate the
formation of the intended 2D AuNP lattices (FIGS. 601 and
60J). Compared with the SAXS pattern of vacant DNC
arrays, the SAXS scattering profile in FIG. 60J is much
sharper and fully reflecting the AuNPs arrangement due to
high X-ray contrast of AuNPs relative to DNA. The nor-
malized peak positions in the SAXS pattern show a qn/q1
ratio of 1:V2:2:V5 . . . (q1=0.143 nm-1), unambiguously
identifying a conventional 2D-square lattice. The close
correspondence with the model peak positions (FIG. 60J)
indicates a formation of well-defined square lattice. More-
over, the center-to-center distance of two neighboring
AuNPs obtaining from SAXS (d1=43.9 nm) is in good
agreement with that from TEM image (~44 nm), further
suggesting a high degree of order for assembled AuNP
lattices.

To emphasize the versatility of this approach for engi-
neering particle arrangements, a chessboard-like 2D lattice
was designed with alternative loading of AuNP in DNCs
(FIG. 60K). The chess-board-like 2D lattices were also
characterized by SAXS, where the experimental scattering
peaks are consistent with the model (FIG. 60L). The result-

ing lattice with well-defined order has a V2-fold increase in 5

the center-to-center nanoparticle distance (d1=62.8 nm) in
comparison with the previous design for a flat square lattice
shown in FIG. 60J.

3D Assembly of DNA Nanochambers: The presented
techniques were used to create DNCs with differentiated
bonds in all three orthogonal directions and to explore their
assembly behaviors. The complementary sticky ends were
anchored along the three axes of DNC to construct the 3D
assembly, combining approaches for the formation of the
aforementioned 1D and 2D arrays. This seemingly simple
addition of Z and XY interactions induces a quite nontrivial
assembly behavior in 3D due to the competition between
this longitudinal (Z) and lateral (XY) binding modes. Com-
pared with 1D or 2D arrays, the growth of 3D structures
within the XY-plane versus along the Z-axis resembles a
tug-of-war, and this interplay has significant impacts on the
assembly kinetics and the structures formed. In an effort to

control the assembly process for DNCs with XYZ bonds, the
3D design was used with 16 sticky ends within the XY-plane
that can afford well-defined 2D arrays, and varied the
number of sticky ends along the Z-axis from 8, 16, 24, to 32
(FIG. 61A). For simplicity, they are referred as XYm-Zn,
where m and n denote the number of sticky ends prescribed
in the XY-plane and along the Z-axis, respectively.
Sequences of these (m+n) sticky ends attached to a single
DNC are entirely distinct from each other, and bonds for
each axis (X, Y, and Z) are differentiated from each other.

Following 3D assembly of these DNCs, SAXS measure-
ments were performed to explore the structures of the
resultant assemblies. FIG. 61B illustrates both experimental
and modeled SAXS patterns of assembled structures for the
relevant designs (m=16 and n=8, 16, 24-32). To enhance the
X-ray scattering signal, the DNCs for all designs were filled
with 10 nm AuNPs. Two additional experimental scattering
patterns are shown as controls for the 3D assembly. The first
control is the XY0-Z32 (interparticle distance c=37.8 nm)
that assembles into 1D chains, due to the absence of a lateral
binding mode, and the other one is the XY16-Z0 (lattice
constant a=b=43.9 nm) that assembles into 2D arrays
(adapted from FIG. 60J), due to the absence of the longitu-
dinal binding mode. On the basis of the symmetry of DNC
and these controls, one can expect that assembled 3D DNC
arrays can correspond to that of a lattice with a primitive
tetragonal unit cell whose lattice parameters are a=b=43.9
nm, c=37.8 nm, a=B=y=90°.

A modeled scattering pattern for this tetragonal lattice
(TL) was thus generated and was displayed on the same plot.
However, the comparison of the generated scattering pattern
ofa tetragonal lattice to the experimentally obtained patterns
for the XY16-Z8 and XY16-Z16 systems revealed signifi-
cant differences. The structure factors (S(q)) of XY16-Z8
and XY16-Z16 instead resemble that of XY16-Z0 (2D
arrays), implying that the lateral growth dominates the
assembly process. Similar to 1D and 2D systems discussed
above, the growth of the 3D system within FTW of anneal-
ing can depend on the relative interaction strength of XYZ
bonds. This can result in anisotropic growth or limited
growth along the XY and Z direction. Since the growth rate
in the XY and Z direction can be different for bond designs,
the assembled structure is likely to be anisotropic, reflecting
differences in growth rates. To further elucidate the structure

5 of the assemblies, detailed electron microscopy was con-

ducted.

In FIGS. 61D and 61E, the TEM images of XY16-Z16
with and without encaging AuNPs, were shown, respec-
tively. Large domains consisting of 2D AuNP lattices can be
clearly visualized in FIG. 61D. Considering the 2D projec-
tion feature of TEM imaging, it is challenging to directly
identify 3D architectures from TEM observation. However,
the disclosed subject matter provides methods to capture two
different kinds of DNC packing patterns within a single
domain, which are parallel alignment of short 1D chains
along the Z-axis and a 2D array pattern within the XY-plane
(FIG. 61E), respectively. These two observed scenarios
result from two projection views that are perpendicular to
and parallel with Z direction of the 3D structures (FIG. 61E).
Taken together, these results support that the growth of
structures dominates within the XY-plane, leading to the
formation of 3D structures with a limited number of layers
along the Z-axis for XY16-Z8 and XY16-Z16.

The scattering profiles evolve with increasing bond
strength (the number of sticky ends) along the Z-axis. For
XY16-Z24 and XY16-Z32, the structure factors exhibit
significant deviation from that of the 2D control (XY16-Z0),

Page 121

81

but these patterns still do not resemble that of the expected
tetragonal lattice. In the case of a strong longitudinal binding
mode, XY16-Z32, the scattering profile exhibits a peak at
q=0.166 nm-1 (guided by the dash line) that corresponds to
the center-to-center distance of two adjacent DNCs in 1D
chains, as seen in the SAXS data of the 1D control sample
(XY0-Z32). Note that this peak is not present in XY16-Z8
and XY16-Z16 scattering patterns. This suggests that the
packing of DNCs along the Z-axis becomes a key structural
feature of this system. Such a feature is directly confirmed
by TEM imaging of XY16-Z32 (FIG. 61C) in which a high
aspect ratio bundle of DNCs is observed.

To further analyze the above observation for the XY16-
732 system, SAXS analysis was performed to understand
both an internal order of assembly and the morphology of
assembled structure. A finite 3D array was formed contain-
ing 3 (X)x3 (Y)x10 (Z) AuNPs-filled DNCs within which
DNCs are arranged in a tetragonal unit cell, as an example
of a Z-elongated assembled structure. This finite model
captures the feature of fiber-like 3D structures, as observed
in FIG. 61C. The scattering profile of this 3x3x10 model
demonstrates an excellent match with the structure factor of
the XY16-Z32 system, which further verify the feature of
stacking along the Z-axis. This scattering model does not
uniquely identify that the structure formed can be 3x3x10,
but it rather indicates that the 3D assemblies formed have
tetragonal internal organization and a high aspect ratio,
which signifies a different growth rate along the XY and Z
directions. Taken together, the XY16-Z8 and XY16-Z16
systems exhibit 2D-dominated morphology due to the rela-
tively weak longitudinal binding. In contrast, for XY 16-224
and XY16-Z32 systems with a strong longitudinal binding,
a growth of 3D structure along Z-axis becomes dominant,
leading to the formation of 3D structures with aspect ratio
emphasized in the Z-direction. Within these both layer-like
and fiber-like mesoscale 3D assemblies, a tetragonal orga-
nization of DNCs is still maintained due to their well-
defined structure and prescribed binding modes.

To understand the effects of relative binding energies
along the Z-axis versus in the XY-plane on the crystalliza-
tion process, molecular simulations of assembled 3D struc-
tures were performed. The design principles and multi-
sequence features of the bonds are similar to the 2D case, but
one bond was added on each corner of the cube along the
Z-axis. The simulations was performed by keeping the
number of bonds constant in the XY-plane, and the binding
energy of each bond fixed (€/K,T=3.0). The binding energy
of each bond in Z direction can be varied (3.0<BE/
K,T<S5.0). The shape of clusters changes from the pancake-

like 2D-dominated structures for ۩/K,T=3.0 (FIG. 61H) to 5

cubic-like structures for €,/K,,T=4.0 (FIG. 61G), and fiber-
like 1D-dominated structures for €/K,T=5.0 (FIG. 61F).
The relative shape anisotropy («2=(3/2(A; *+A) “+A; *))/
((hy?-+h3 24h, *)?)-14) was used to quantify the shape of
these resultant crystallites, where i°2 are the eigenvalues of
the gyration tensor of the clusters. The K2 for the largest
clusters in the system was calculated, and obtained «2=0.24,
0.06, and 0.75, for pancake-like, cubic-like, and fiber-like
crystallites, respectively. These values correspond to ideal
disk-like (k2=0.25), cubic-like (k2=0), and rod-like (k2=1)
geometry, respectively, which further confirm the formation
of 2D-dominated, cubic, and 1D-dominated crystallites in
the molecular simulation.

The 2D-layer dominated (FIG. 61H) and 1D-fiber domi-
nated 3D structures (FIG. 61F) predicted by simulation are
qualitatively consistent with the disclosed observations.
Simulations predict the formation of assemblies with cubic

morphology (FIG. 61G). The cubic-like morphologies can
occur in certain ranges of relative binding energy (ez/exy)
along the Z-axis versus in the XY-plane. In simulation, the
disclosed techniques allow to systematically tune the value
of ez/exy to catch a cubic 3D lattice. The changes of ez/exy
can be discrete in certain designs. As illustrated in FIG. 614,
the binding energy along the Z-axis changes in a step of 8
bonds (8, 16, 24, and 32). A location of sticky ends for the
XY (along the center of face) and Z (at edges) bonds can
play a significant role due to the entropic effects and
connectivity properties of individual sticky ends.

The disclosed subject matter provides a versatile strategy

for creating nanoscale objects, DNA nanochambers (DNCs),
with differentiated and dimensionally controlled bonds.
Such objects offer polychromatic bonds, where each bond
provides individual encoding with orientation and position
control of inter-DNC binding, and the ability to carry
nanocargoes. The ability to prescribe binding modes allows
for the programmable assembly of DNCs into 1D, 2D, and
3D arrays. These structural variations are rationally
achieved through fully prescribed bonds encoded along the
X, Y, and Z orthogonal axes of DNCs. The disclosed subject
matter explores the engineering of different architectures
using this novel object. The disclosed subject matter can
provide the followings: (i) Z encoded DNCs create homopo-
lymers and heteropolymers with the ability to control the
sequences of monomers and relative orientation, thus, gen-
erating helical polymers; (ii) XY encoded DNCs form 2D
ordered square arrays with regulated chamber-filling pat-
terns wherein the sizes of the 2D ordered arrays depend on
the bonds strength; and (iii) three axes encoded DNCs
assemble into mesoscale-sized 3D tetragonal arrays whose
morphology is a result of competing Z- and XY-bonds. Both
experimental and computational studies reveal that the
design of binding modes is a crucial factor in the formation
of the desired structures. These results provide a new insight
into the governing principles of programmable assembly and

5 offer a versatile approach, using bond encoding, for building

complex organizations from functional nano-objects that
can be readily integrated with nanochambers.
