Abstract
Two and three dimensional polynucleic acid structures, such as periodic lattices, may be constructed from an ordered array of antiparallel double crossover molecules assembled from single stranded oligonucleotides or polynucleotides. These antiparallel double crossover molecules have the structural rigidity necessary to serve as building block components for two and three dimensional structures having the high translational symmetry associated with crystals.
