I'm stuck with the following. Fixing would be a totally different solution I think :)

Getting better or getting worse? I managed 94 walls for #377!!

ooh and with a few more tweaks I got the total up to 88!

What a great idea!! See solution for puzzle #376 with 84 walls!

3D printable model of an i-motif structure showing how an i-motif consists of two interdigitated duplexes.

🧬 I know I should save this model for the official #RNAday in August, but this #DNAday, did you know that the i-motif is two interdigitated duplexes?? This thing is wild and beautiful. 3D printable model of the RNA i-motif (PDB 1I9K) shown below.

In honor of #DNAday, here is a 3D printable model of a g-quadruplex (PDB 139B) separated into a few layers, showing the non-canonical binding that makes the g-quadruplex possible.

Insanely beautiful insights into Nature's own RNA origami!

After a week of really high scores, I get today’s in 9.

I completed #Celtix 260 using 9 walls.

Okay, today’s Celtix was really fun. I’m thrilled I got through with a 10. Love to see if anyone can get sub-10!

I completed #Celtix 242 using 10 walls.

Another 8-wall day! Much appreciated after a tough week of life and puzzles.
I completed #Celtix 232 using 8 walls.

How to spend today

whoops 7 walls on puzzle 101 not puzzle 7.

Best score in #Celtix versus puzzle number.

In an obsessive bit of bookkeeping over break, I tallied my performance over the first 200+ #Celtix puzzles (plot attached). The slight downward slope is always encouraging.

10 walls: 34, 153, 171, 182, 185
9 walls: 12, 45, 56, 62, 131, 161, 198, 208
8 walls: 70, 201, 213
7 walls: 7 (today!)

OMG, knowing it’s possible makes it so much easier. Also got it in 7!

Finally got my first 8-wall-game on #Celtix! So tell me Celtix folks, was this an easy one? (Yesterday’s demolished me). I completed #Celtix 213 using 8 walls.

Hi Erik, I'd like to join as well!

Hi Elisa, please add me too!

Generative design-enabled exploration of wireframe DNA origami nanostructures Abstract. Recent advances in computer-aided design tools have helped rapidly advance the development of wireframe DNA origami nanostructures. Specifically,

A.J. Vetturini's generative design framework generates sets of wireframe DNA origami nanostructures without the need for a predefined mesh. This tool supports multi-objective optimization inputs to represent critical tradeoffs in effective nanostructure design!

Complex Assemblies of Colloidal Microparticles with Compliant DNA Linkers and Magnetic Actuation High-surface-energy polycarbonate templates are used to assemble polystyrene microspheres, improving yields more than 100-fold. These higher yields facilitate the construction of active colloids and ...

Two exciting new papers out over break!
Taryn Imamura shows how tuning the surface energy of a templating array improves pocketing yields 100 fold, enabling the assembly of even more complex DNA nanostructure-linked microrobots that are modular, complex and flexible.

My team made articulated DNA and PNA models (paper with model links here: www.doi.org/10.35459/tbp...). We also have a new tool to make custom articulated molecular models -- let me know if you want to be a beta tester!

Structural sexism factor plotted versus time from https://doi.org/10.1002/alz.14410

I'm not sure what makes me more frustrated: (1) the stark state-to-state variation in structural sexism, (2) the association between structural sexism and late life memory loss in women or (3) the terrible line spec choices in Figure 1 with this bombshell data. www.cuimc.columbia.edu/news/sexism-...

Never gotten below 9 walls, but it’s always great to get #Celtix in 9! Hooray!
