The applications of solution-state NMR of membrane proteins are often limited by difficulty in finding a suitable membrane mimetic of tailored size that shows native-like membrane properties and provides long-term stability. This protocol describes how to assemble phospholipid nanodiscs and incorporate membrane proteins for NMR-structural studies.

This protocol describes a microfluidics approach for culturing liquid-biopsy-derived circulating tumor cell clusters to predict a patient's response toward various therapeutic strategies.

All necessary strands for DNA origami can be created in a single scalable process by using bacteriophages to generate single-stranded precursor DNA containing the target sequences interleaved with self-excising DNA enzymes.

By using DNA sequence information to encode the shapes of DNA origami building blocks, shape-programmable assemblies can be created, with sizes and complexities similar to those of viruses.

DNA bricks with binding domains of 13 nucleotides instead of the typical 8 make it possible to self-assemble gigadalton-scale, three-dimensional nanostructures consisting of tens of thousands of unique components.

Simple assembly rules applied recursively in a multistage assembly process enable the creation of DNA origami arrays with sizes of up to 0.5 square micrometres and with arbitrary patterns.
