title: Control of the two-dimensional crystallization of DNA origami with various loop arrangements.
abstract: We have developed a new strategy to control the two-dimensional (2D) crystallization of DNA origami by introducing loops on the surface and aligning them in various orientations. Among the orientations tested, vertically connected loops successfully produced the 2D crystal lattice on a micrometer scale, while all other orientations failed.
