Progress Report on the Generation of Polyfunctional Microscale Particles for Programmed Self-Assembly

چکیده
A process for 3D programmed self-assembly of lithographically printable microscale polymer particles using ssDNA hybridization as the associative force is described. We report our progress in establishing the unit processes required for 3D programmed self-assembly and demonstrate the successful fabrication and sequence-specific self-assembly of covalent ssDNA-functionalized parallelepipeds with dimensions in the sub 10 μm regime characterized by optical microscopy and imaging flow cytometry. This technology has the potential to produce parallelepiped particles with different ssDNA on each facet.

Programmed Self-Assembly of a Biosensor to Probe Cell Adhesion Interactions
Rarely in Nature are single molecule interactions used for cell adhesion. Rather, several different types of molecules or structures interact in concert to build effective adhesion. We are developing a biosensor that can probe the range of interactions from the single molecule level to the ensemble average of multiple interactions. To achieve this goal we have harnessed specificity to effect pr...
متن کاملClustering of Short Read Sequences for de novo Transcriptome Assembly
Given the importance of transcriptome analysis in various biological studies and considering thevast amount of whole transcriptome sequencing data, it seems necessary to develop analgorithm to assemble transcriptome data. In this study we propose an algorithm fortranscriptome assembly in the absence of a reference genome. First, the contiguous sequencesare generated using de Bruijn graph with d...

The structure and morphology of nonmaterial formed by colloidal synthesis represent a subject of interest as it is a factor deciding the physicochemical properties and biological applications of nanostructures. Among various nanoparticles, gold can develop fractal assembled patterns. Herein, we report a nano-aggregate of a thiol-on-gold self-assembled structure and the influence of β-cyclodextr...
متن کاملFabrication of new carbon paste electrodes based on gold nano-particles self-assembled to mercapto compounds as suitable ionophores for potentiometric determination of Copper ions
In the present study, we investigate the potentiometric behavior of Cu2+ carbon paste electrodes based on two mercapto compounds 2-Ethylmino-5-Mercapto-1,3,4-Thiadiazole (EAMT) and 2-Acetylamino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (AAMT) self-assembled on gold nano-paricle (GNP) as ionophore. Then, the results obtained from the modified electrodes are compared. The self-assembled ionophores exhibit a ...
متن کاملStudy of Cis–trans Isomerization Mechanism of [3-(3-Aminomethyl) Phenylazo] Phenyl Acetic Acid as a Causative Role in Alzheimer Using Density Functional Theory
Amyloid-β (Aβ) self-assembly into cross-β amyloidfibrils is implicated in a causative role in Alzheimer’s disease pathology.Uncertainties persist regarding the mechanisms of amyloid self assembly and the role of metastable prefibrillar aggregates. Aβ fibrilsfeature a sheet-turn-sheet motif in the constituent β-strands; as such, turn nucleation has been proposed as a rate-limiting step in the se...
