- DNA:
-
Deoxyribonucleic acid, is a nucleic acid molecule that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all living organisms. Chemically, DNA is a long polymer of simple units called nucleotides, which are held together by a backbone made of alternating sugars and phosphate groups. Attached to each sugar is one of four types of molecules called bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C).
- Double‐crossover (DX) motif:
-
The DX motif consists of two DNA double helices linked in two different places. These molecules are related to intermediates in genetic recombination but, in the molecules used in DNA self‐assembly, the linkages are usually between strands of opposite polarity, rather than the same polarity.
- Paranemic‐crossover DNA:
-
A DNA motif that can be formed by reciprocal exchange between strands of the same polarity on two DNA double helices at every possible position.
