title: Direct AFM observation of an opening event of a DNA cuboid constructed via a prism structure.
abstract: A cuboid structure was constructed using a DNA origami design based on a square prism structure. The structure was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and dynamic light scattering. The real-time opening event of the cuboid was directly observed by high-speed AFM.
