CanDo is currently offline due to a major systems upgrade, and is expected to be back online during the first week of March. Thank you for your patience!
This submission page enables the prediction of the 3D equilibrium structure of programmed DNA assemblies that are designed to reside on a honeycomb [3] or square [5] lattice using the drawing program caDNAno [6]. The caDNAno file preparation, input, and CanDo finite element modeling procedure is demonstrated in this tutorial.
