Topography-controlled alignment of DNA origami nanotubes on nanopatterned surfaces.
The controlled positioning of DNA nanostructures on technologically relevant surfaces represents a major goal along the route toward the full-scale integration of DNA-based materials into nanoelectronic and sensor devices. Previous attempts to arrange DNA nanostructures into defined arrays mostly relied on top-down lithographic patterning techniques combined with chemical surface functionalizat...
متن کاملPlacement and orientation of individual DNA shapes on lithographically patterned surfaces.
Artificial DNA nanostructures show promise for the organization of functional materials to create nanoelectronic or nano-optical devices. DNA origami, in which a long single strand of DNA is folded into a shape using shorter 'staple strands', can display 6-nm-resolution patterns of binding sites, in principle allowing complex arrangements of carbon nanotubes, silicon nanowires, or quantum dots....
متن کاملDNA origami: a history and current perspective.
Researchers have been using DNA for the rational design and construction of nanoscale objects for nearly 30 years. Recently, 'scaffolded DNA origami' has emerged as one of the most promising assembly techniques in DNA nanotechnology with a broad range of applications. In the past two years alone, DNA origami has been used to assemble water-soluble probe tiles for label-free RNA hybridization, t...
متن کاملCarbon nanotubes as electrodes for dielectrophoresis of DNA.
Dielectrophoresis can potentially be used as an efficient trapping tool in the fabrication of molecular devices. For nanoscale objects, however, the Brownian motion poses a challenge. We show that the use of carbon nanotube electrodes makes it possible to apply relatively low trapping voltages and still achieve high enough field gradients for trapping nanoscale objects, e.g., single molecules. ...
متن کاملModelling and verification for DNA nanotechnology
DNA nanotechnology is a rapidly developing field that creates nanoscale devices from DNA, which enables novel interfaces with biological material. Their therapeutic use is envisioned and applications in other areas of basic science have already been found. These devices function at physiological conditions and, owing to their molecular scale, are subject to thermal fluctuations during both prep...
