Nanobiotechnology has evolved into a unique interdisciplinary field involving physics, materials science, chemistry, biology, computer science, and multiple engineering fields. Likewise, DNA nanotechnology is a quickly developing field with essentially no overwhelming technical difficulties inhibiting progress toward designing and fabricating new shapes of DNA nanostructures in all dimensions. In this field, researchers create artificial DNA sequences to self-assemble into target molecular nanostructures. The well understood Watson–Crick base-pairing rules are used to encode assembly instructions directly into the DNA molecules which provide basic building blocks for constructing functionalized nanostructures with two major features: self-assembly and self-alignment. In this talk, we present on self-assembled various DNA nanostructures. 1D and 2D periodically patterned nanostructures utilizing several distinct DNA motifs as well as natural DNA will be discussed with unique design schemes and physical characteristics. At the end of the talk, we address applications of DNA nanotechnology which will show feasibility to construct various physical devices and biological/chemical sensors with DNA nanostructures. |
