Hello, I am new to the field of DNA Origami and before starting my first experiments, I came across this question. For example, if you use the M13 scaffold for an Origami with a lenght of 7000 nucleotides, since the M13 scaffold has 7249 nucleotides, what happens to the remaining unpaired 249 bases? Is it required to shorten the scaffold or do the unused nucleotides have no effect on the assembly of the origami? In that case, is there an upper limit to what length the unused nts do not disturb the assembly? Could, for example, an origami be assembled from the M13 scaffold if it only uses
