Description

Data supporting the manuscript titled: "Influence of hydrophobic moieties on the crystallization of amphiphilic DNA nanostructures". The uploaded dataset contains:

  • images of agarose gels with non-functionalized DNA motifs,
  • DLS data / images of agarose gels with DNA micelles,
  • SAXS data of DNA crystals,
  • bright-field images of DNA crystals,
  • confocal micrographs of DNA crystals loaded with antibiotic molecules.

Software / Usage instructions

TIF files can be opened and analysed using most of the available image visualisation/analysis software programs (examples include ImageJ and Matlab). CSV files can be directly opened with Microsoft Excel or imported into any text data analysis software program (for example, Matlab or Jupyter Notebook). LIF files containing images with all the metadata, for example, pixel size, can be read in selected image visualisation/analysis software programs (ImageJ, Python or Matlab) using the respective Bioformats plug-in/library. NXS files containing diffraction data can be opened with free software called DAWN, available on the Diamond Light source website (https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Science/Computing/Data-Analysis.html). TXT files including detailed description of the data can be opened using Notepad.
