Resorcinarene-Encapsulated Nanoparticles: Building Blocks for Self-Assembled Nanostructures
Calix[4]resorcinarene-derived surfactants are highly effective at stabilizing metal nanoparticles of different sizes, creating opportunities to fabricate well-defined nanostructures with size-tunable materials properties. The resorcinarenes have a critical role in the dispersion of nanoparticles under various solvent conditions and in the robustness of the protective surfactant layer. Magnetic ...
متن کاملBuilding Blocks for DNA Self-Assembly
DNA complexes, like the double crossover, are used as building blocks for the assembly of higher-order structures. Currently, the number of experimentally proven reliable complexes is small. We have begun work on expanding the collection of such complexes. Here we report on our design concepts and initial experiments. In particular, we present experimental evidence of two new complexes: quadrup...
متن کاملNanomechanics of the formation of DNA self-assembled monolayers and hybridization on microcantilevers.
Biomolecular interactions over the surface of a microcantilever can produce its bending motion via changes of the surface stress, which is referred to nanomechanical response. Here, we have studied the interaction forces responsible for the bending motion during the formation of a self-assembled monolayer of thiolated 27-mer single-stranded DNA on the gold-coated side of a microcantilever and d...
متن کاملSelf-assembled peptide nanostructures: the design of molecular building blocks and their technological utilization.
In this tutorial review the process and applications of peptide self-assembly into nanotubes, nanospheres, nanofibrils, nanotapes, and other ordered structures at the nano-scale are discussed. The formation of well-ordered nanostructures by a process of self-association represents the essence of modern nanotechnology. Such self-assembled structures can be formed by a variety of building blocks,...
