We got in contact with NTNU to ask for assistance and they came back with a stochastic method for calculating said probabilities. After discussing the problem further we came up with various equations such as S_i= Σ_j (K_i,j / Σ_j K_i,j ) log K_i,j / E_j[K_i,j], where S is how well a zinc finger binds to an arm and P_i = S_i / W (S_i) where P is the probability of formation for that zinc finger arm.
Oxford Collaboration
We worked with them to PCR a part we had designed using primers we had sequenced. This allowed us to use our time more efficiently and begin work on the second phase of the project.
Once we got the parts back we combined them and annealed to form DNA Origami shapes, which were then viewed under an electron microscope.
