Abstract
We present a system for analyzing the assembly pathway of DNA nanostructures. This enables the identification, explanation, and avoidance of obstacles to proper structure formation. Potential problems include strand end-pinning and misfolding caused by the structural bias of nominally flexible junctions. We have used this system to guide the construction of parallel motifs that had previously, for unknown reasons, resisted assembly.
