Reaction time was 24 h. Lower than 2.0% or higher than 2.5% TMAPS induced incomplete reactions. The reason for the former situation was that the lower concentration could not compete with the Mg2+, which then induced an incomplete reaction between the TMAPS and DNA. The reason for the latter situation arose possibly because of excess free TMAPS provided free nucleation sites in the solution. Scale bars, 200 nm. Nature. 2018. Vol. 559, 593–598.
