22. The half-crossover can be viewed as a simplified Holliday-junction analog, which utilizes one strand, rather than the normal two strands, at the crossover exchange point. A similar structure was previously used in constructing DNA nanotubes (14).
23. Due to the modularity and standardization of the motif, assigning the dimensions of all the green domains in the lattice also uniquely determines the dimensions of all the other domains.
