Abstract:DNA origami is a pioneering approach for producing complex 2-or 3-D shapes for use in molecular electronics due to its inherent self-assembly and programmability properties. The electronic properties of DNA origami structures are not yet fully understood, limiting the potential applications. Here, we conduct a theoretical study with a combination of molecular dynamics, first-principles, and charge transmission calculations. We use four separate single strand DNAs, each having 8 bases (4 × G 4 C 4 and 4 × A 4 T… Show more
