Investigating the DNA origami folding process

The proposed project focuses on using Time-Resolved X-ray Solution Scattering (TR-XSS), an advanced technique for studying fast molecular changes in DNA nanostructures. By capturing real-time structural changes when these nanostructures are exposed to environmental stimuli like laser pulses. The project aims to improve our understanding of their stability and dynamic behavior. This project will provide hands-on training in designing and conducting TR-XSS experiments at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), offering students and researchers a valuable experience in using cutting-edge X-ray techniques. The partnership will encourage international collaboration, allowing experts to share knowledge, develop new research ideas, and work together on innovative scientific projects.
