DNA-programmed assembly of nanostructures.

چکیده
DNA is a unique material for nanotechnology since it is possible to use base sequences to encode instructions for assembly in a predetermined fashion at the nanometre scale. Synthetic oligonucleotides are readily obtained by automated synthesis and numerous techniques have been developed for conjugating DNA with other materials. The exact spatial positioning of materials is crucial for the future development of complex nanodevices and the emerging field of DNA-nanotechnology is now exploring DNA-programmed processes for the assembly of organic compounds, biomolecules, and inorganic materials.

Self-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 کاملProgrammed-assembly system using DNA jigsaw pieces.
A novel method for assembling multiple DNA origami structures has been developed by using designed 2D DNA origami rectangles, so-called "DNA jigsaw pieces" that have sequence-programmed connectors. Shape and sequence complementarity were introduced to the concavity and convex connectors in the DNA rectangles for selective connection with the help of nonselective pi-stacking interactions between...
متن کاملDiamondoids and DNA Nanotechnologies
Diamondoids are cage-like saturated hydrocarbons consisting of fused cyclohexane rings. The Diamondoids family of compounds is one of the best candidates for molecular building blocks (MBBs) in nanotechnology to construct organic nanostructures compared to other MBBs known so far. The challenge is to find a route for self-assembly of these cage hydrocarbons and their applications in the bottom-...

متن کاملChemical patterning for the highly specific and programmed assembly of nanostructures
We have developed a new chemical patterning technique based on standard lithography-based processes to assemble nanostructures on surfaces with extraordinarily high selectivity. This patterning process is used to create patterns of aminosilane molecular layers surrounded by highly inert poly ethylene glycol PEG molecules. While the aminosilane regions facilitate nanostructure assembly, the PEG ...
