Here, we report a strategy for controlling the state of DNA nanodevices based on sensing antigens with IgG antibodies. To this end, we use IgG antibodies as structural elements to kinetically trap reconfigurable DNA origami structures in metastable states. Addition of soluble antigens displace the IgGs from the objects and triggers reconfiguration. We demonstrate this mechanism by antigen-triggered disassembly of DNA origami shells for two different IgGs and their cognate antigens, and we determined the corresponding dose response curves. We also describe the logic-gated actuation of DNA objects with combinations of antigens, as demonstrated with AND-type shells that disassemble only when two different antigens are detected simultaneously. We apply our system for the antigen-triggered release of molecular payload as exemplified by the release of virus particles that we loaded into the DNA origami shells. We expect our approach to be applicable in many types of DNA nanostructures and with many other IgG-antigen combinations.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
