Shown
below is the way in which the cassette fits into an array containing eight
different triple crossover molecules tiles. In addition, it contains a marker tile,
to indicate which way the reporter arm is pointing. The marker tile is shown in black. In the PX state, the reporter arm
points towards the marker tile, and in the JX2 state, the reporter
arm points away from the marker tile.
AFM
images of the two states are shown below.
Both transitions are shown, PX going to JX2 above and JX2
going to PX below. In each box are
two images of a unit cell repeat of the array. The upper unit cell contains a blue outline that contains
the cassette and the marker tile.
The reporter arm is visible as a bright spot. It is in the middle in the PX state, and off to the right in
the JX2 state. The
reporter arm has been outlined in red in the lower unit cell.
