Download or read book DNA Nanostructures as Templates for Hybrid Supramolecular Assemblies written by Thomas Edwardson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "DNA is used for the storage and propagation of genetic information in all living organisms. It is the programmability and molecular recognition properties of DNA which make this possible. Taking advantage of these properties, researchers have developed DNA self-assembly as a highly predictable method of bottom-up nanofabrication. The resulting nanostructures have the potential to solve important problems in diverse fields, from nanophotonics to gene therapy. To date most DNA nanostructures have been made purely from unmodified, natural DNA. To achieve structural complexity needed for functional devices, researchers have created intricate designs which often require a large number of DNA strands of different sequence,with increased cost and assembly error rates. This thesis examines the chemical modification of nucleic acids and their integration into DNA nanostructures. This approach is expected to simplify design and significantly reduce the number of DNA components, while adding functional complexity. Specifically, the introduction of orthogonal supramolecular interactions to DNA nanostructures and the resultant properties of these hybrid systems is investigated. Firstly, the synthesis of novel dendritic DNA amphiphiles and their self-assembly properties are investigated. The site-specific positioning of the amphiphiles on a cubic DNA scaffold allows the anisotropic organization of hydrophobic 'residues', in a manner similar to the side-chains on a protein backbone. A new set of self-assembly rules is discovered, in which these nanostructures show a geometry-dependent inter- or intra-molecular association. This is used to create the first example of a DNA nanostructure which can encapsulate and release small molecule drugs, an important challenge in nanomedicine. Secondly, this synthetic methodology is developed to produce a family of DNA-polymer conjugates, with sequence-defined polymers appended to DNA. These conjugates exhibit tunable self-assembly properties, dependent on the sequence of monomers in the polymer portion. Finally, the modular synthetic approaches developed are used to produce novel gold-binding DNA conjugates. The organization of these on prismatic DNA scaffolds creates patterns of DNA strands which can be efficiently transferred to gold nanoparticles. This template-guided 'printing' approach provides control over the number, directionality, geometry and sequence asymmetry of DNA strands bound to gold nanoparticle. Overall, the development of new synthetically modified oligonucleotides and their incorporation into nanostructures is shown to augment the field of DNA nanotechnology, introducing protein-inspired interactions and providing new tools for the creation of functional nanodevices for applications in the fields of nanophotonics, nanoelectronics and biological sensing, as well as drug and oligonucleotide delivery." --
Download or read book Templated DNA Nanotechnology written by Thimmaiah Govindaraju and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nucleic acids have structurally evolved over billions of years to effectively store and transfer genetic information. In the 1980s, Nadrian Seeman’s idea of constructing a 3D lattice from DNA led to utilizing DNA as nanomolecular building blocks to create emergent molecular systems and nanomaterial objects. This bottom-up approach to construct nanoscale architectures with DNA marked the beginning of a new field, DNA nanotechnology, contributing significantly to the broad area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The molecular architectonics of small "designer" molecules and short DNA sequences through complementary binding interaction engenders well-defined functional nanoarchitectures with realistic applications in areas ranging from biology to materials science and is termed "DNA nanoarchitectonics." This book discusses novel approaches adapted by leading researchers from all over the world to create functional nucleic acid molecular systems and nanoarchitectures. Individual chapters contributed by active practitioners provide fundamental and advanced knowledge emanated from their own and others’ work. Each chapter includes numerous illustrations, historical perspectives, case studies and practical examples, critical discussions, and future prospects. This book can serve as a practical handbook or as a textbook for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students of nanotechnology and DNA nanotechnology, supramolecular chemistry, and nanoarchitectonics and researchers working on macromolecular science, nanotechnology, chemistry, biology, and medicine, especially those with an interest in sensors, biosensors, nanoswitches and nanodevices, diagnostics, drug delivery, and therapeutics.

Download or read book Artificially Controllable Nanodevices Constructed by DNA Origami Technology written by Yangyang Yang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the author deals mainly with two topics: (1) single-molecule visualization of switching behaviors in the DNA nanoframe system utilizing different kinds of molecular switches through the use of high-speed atomic force microscope (AFM); (2) construction of photocontrollable DNA nanostructures in programmed patterns and direct visualization of the dynamic assembling process. Here, high-speed AFM was employed to observe the dynamic movements of single molecules. Compared to a traditional single-molecule analysis method, such as fluorescence spectroscopy or electron microscopy, high-speed AFM makes possible the real-time observation of molecule behaviors. DNA nanostructures were designed and assembled as scaffolds to incorporate interested biomolecules. The observations were carried out under robust conditions without complicated pretreatment. Moreover, the photoresponsive molecules were successfully assembled into around 100 nm-sized DNA nanostructures. The assembly/disassembly of nanostructures can be regulated reversibly by photoirradiation. This book explains how DNA origami has gradually become a useful tool for the investigation of biochemical interactions in defined nanospace. It also shows the possibility of DNA nanostructures acting as nanodevices for application in biological systems, serving as a good introduction to basic DNA nanotechnology.

Book excerpt: This is the first book portraying to a wide readership many fields of DNA in the world of materials altogether in a single volume. The book provides underlying concepts and state-of-art developments in the emerging fields of DNA electronics, structural DNA nanotechnology, DNA computing and DNA data storage, DNA machines and nanorobots. Future possibilities of innovative DNA-based technologies, such as DNA cryptography, DNA identity tags, DNA nanostructures in biosensing and nanomedicine, as well as DNA-based nanoelectronics are all covered, too. This book is valuable for university students studying engineering and technology; biotech, nanotech, and medical device R&D managers, practitioners and investors; and IP analysts who would like to extend their background in advanced DNA technologies. It is nicely illustrated, which makes it very readable, and it conveys science and principles in a lively language to appeal to a broad audience, from professionals and academics to students and lay readers. Advance Praise for DNA Beyond Genes: “Most students of DNA, and lay readers as well, are interested in the absolutely essential role it plays in biology. However, the properties which make DNA the carrier of genetic information also make it an extraordinary material that can be used as the backbone for a wide variety of nanoengineering applications – these range from information storage and computation to molecular machines and devices to artfully designed logos and symbols. The perfect self-recognition of DNA sequences makes it an ideal building block to synthesize more and more elaborate constructions and imaginative scientists have probably only just scratched the surface of what can eventually be created. Here for the first time in this wonderful book Vadim Demidov explores the full range of the non-biological applications of DNA.” Charles R. Cantor Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering, Boston University Member of the USA National Academy of Sciences
Download or read book DNA Nanostructures as a Printing Press for DNA polymer Hybrid Materials written by Sean Laxton and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Block copolymers have widespread use in areas such as luminescence, photovoltaics, electronics, optics, shape memory, self healing, stimuli-responsiveness, photonics, and drug delivery due to their predictable, ordered nanostructures. However, block copolymer materials are usually restricted to highly symmetric spherical, cylindrical, lamellar, and vesicular morphologies, resulting from the non-covalent interactions that direct their assembly. Recent interest, inspired by natural systems, has emerged to break the symmetry in polymer self-assembly to achieve materials with new and unusual functional properties. To break the symmetry of polymer assembly, patchy particles, Janus particles, multicompartment particles, and lithography have been employed. Although these methods of polymer assembly have improved the range of polymer architectures, they have limited control of the compartmentalization and orientation of the binding sites on the particle surface. In contrast, DNA nanotechnology harnesses Watson-Crick-Franklin base pairing to create highly specific and programmable assemblies at the nanoscale. Therefore, transferring a pattern of DNA strands from a DNA nanostructure onto polymer particles ("printing") combines the materials properties of polymers with the high structural control of DNA nanotechnology. In this thesis, advances to make new DNA polymer hybrid materials are employed-with an emphasis of printing DNA patterns on polymer particle surfaces. First, the use of DNA cubes as a 2D printing press, placing DNA strands with controlled sequence, valency, and patterns on the surface of block copolymer micelles and spherical nucleic acids will be investigated. Second, using sequence-defined polymers, a polymer particle that can be assembled inside a DNA cube with a 3D DNA pattern attached will be examined. Again, these printed strands have controlled DNA sequence, valency, and pattern on the surface. Furthermore, these 3D cube printed particles can have polymers attached, with click chemistry, to the surface to change particle properties. All these cube printing methods are modular; changing the polymer composition of the DNA printed particles can further give assemblies with given polymer types at a given position, further tuning the material properties. Lastly, spherical nucleic acids will be used as a nanoreactor to incorporate hydrophobic drug-polymer conjugates for controlled drug release. These materials will be useful for drug delivery and building blocks for asymmetric polymer patterning. Overall, these DNA-polymer materials can be used to make new hierarchical and functional materials through their programmable assembly"--
