Twenty years later, the evolution of origami DNA.
Twenty years ago Trends in Biochemical Sciences published an innovative origami template for modeling the DNA double helix. Presented here are adaptations of this, including a chemical structure designed for transparent acetate, plus hybrid DNA/RNA, RNA hairpin, and single-stranded models. These models are useful teaching tools for understanding the 3D structure of DNA.
