Abstract
To investigate the dynamic interaction between antibody and antigen, Fan et al. rationally designed a triangular DNA origami framework to spatially organize the antigenic epitopes at the nanoscale and thus to monitor the transient binding kinetics of the dynamic antigen-antibody complexes at room temperature. This study provides a straightforward, designable and programmable strategy to investigate the transition kinetics of antibody-antigen interaction at a single-molecule level and improve the understanding toward the design of the next-generation antibodies and vaccines for various biomedical applications.
