M-DNA: a self-assembling molecular wire for nanoelectronics and biosensing.
M-DNA is a complex between divalent metal ions such as Zn2+ and duplex DNA which forms at pH 8.5. Unlike B-DNA, M-DNA does not bind ethidium so that M-DNA formation can be monitored conveniently by an ethidium fluorescence assay. M-DNA was shown to be a better conductor than B-DNA by fluorometric measurements of electron transport in donor-acceptor labelled duplexes; by direct conductivity meas...
متن کاملSelf-assembling DNA Nanostructures for Patterned Molecular Assembly
The Chapter describes the use of DNA for molecular-scale self-assembly. DNA-nanostructures provide a versatile toolbox with which to organize nanoscale materials. We begin with a discussion of DNA-nanostructures, starting with the self-assembly of various building-blocks known as DNA tiles. We describe how these can be made to self-assemble into two and threedimensional lattices. We discuss var...
متن کاملSelf-Assembling Molecular Capsules
Host complexes formed through non-covalent interactions comprise a rapidly growing area of supramolecular chemistry. In particular, three-dimensional hosts which reversibly encapsulate guests hold great potential as both novel tools in chemistry and as biological models. Here, we describe the design, synthesis, and study of several selfassembling molecular capsules. In particular, we discuss ho...
متن کاملSelf-assembling DNA dendrimers: a numerical study.
DNA is increasingly used as a specific linker to template nanostructured materials. We present a molecular dynamics simulation study of a simple DNA-dendrimer model designed to capture the basic characteristics of the biological interactions, where selectivity and strong cooperativity play an important role. Exploring a large set of densities and temperatures, we follow the progressive formatio...
متن کاملIntroduction to Self - Assembling DNA
Introduction. DNA, well-known as the predominant chemical for duplication and storage of genetic information in biology, has also recently been shown to be highly useful as an engineering material for construction of special purpose computers and micron-scale objects with nanometer-scale feature resolution. Properly designed synthetic DNA can be thought of as a programmable glue which, via spec...
