Self-construction

Imaging the self-assembly process: Production of ribosomal proteins and RNA from synthetic DNA strands on a chip leads to self-assembly of a new ribosome subunit – also on the chip. Bottom left: Imaging of DNA strands grouped into several dense brushes in the shape of circles, right: Fluorescence imaging of subunit layers formed at the end of the assembly process.
