Computer-aided design of nano-filter construction using DNA self-assembly

چکیده
Computer-aided design plays a fundamental role in both top-down and bottom-up nano-system fabrication. This paper presents a bottom-up nanofilter patterning process based on DNA self-assembly. In this study we designed a new method to construct fully designed nano-filters with the pores between 5 nm and 9 nm in diameter. Our calculations illustrated that by constructing such a nano-filter we would be able to separate many molecules.

Various approaches to the self-assembly of molecules have been introduced already 2), 3), 4), 5), 6), . A step further toward flexible design and construction of precisely defined molecules are approaches to programmable self-assembly . In order to allow arbitrary programming, a sufficient solution of the negative design problem 5), 9) is needed. We present a computer program which translates f...
متن کاملDesign, Simulation, and Experimental Demonstration of Self-assembled DNA Nanostructures and Motors
Self-assembly is the spontaneous self-ordering of substructures into superstructures, driven by the selective affinity of the substructures. Complementarity of DNA bases renders DNA an ideal material for programmable selfassembly of nanostructures. DNA self-assembly is the most advanced and versatile system that has been experimentally demonstrated for programmable construction of patterned sys...
