  2. DNA nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_nanotechnology

    DNA nanotechnology, specifically, is an example of bottom-up molecular self-assembly, in which molecular components spontaneously organize into stable structures; the particular form of these structures is induced by the physical and chemical properties of the components selected by the designers. [19] In DNA nanotechnology, the component ...

  4. Nucleic acid design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_design

    A geometrical model of a DNA tetrahedron described in Goodman, 2005. [10] Models of this type are useful for ensuring that tertiary structure constraints do not cause excessive strain to the molecule. Geometrical models of nucleic acids are used to predict tertiary structure. This is important because designed nucleic acid complexes usually ...

  5. DNA computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_computing

    The biocompatible computing device: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) DNA computing is an emerging branch of unconventional computing which uses DNA, biochemistry, and molecular biology hardware, instead of the traditional electronic computing. Research and development in this area concerns theory, experiments, and applications of DNA computing.

  6. Molecular machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_machine

    The first example of an artificial molecular machine (a switchable molecular shuttle). The positively charged ring (blue) is initially positioned over the benzidine unit (green), but shifts to the biphenol unit (red) when the benzidine gets protonated (purple) as a result of electrochemical oxidation or lowering of the pH. [10]

  7. Molecular self-assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_self-assembly

    Molecular self-assembly is a key concept in supramolecular chemistry. [6] [7] [8] This is because assembly of molecules in such systems is directed through non-covalent interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, hydrophobic forces, van der Waals forces, pi-stacking interactions, and/or electrostatic) as well as electromagnetic interactions.

  8. Spherical nucleic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_nucleic_acid

    Single-stranded and double-stranded versions of these materials have been created using, for example, DNA, LNA, and RNA. One- and two-dimensional forms of nucleic acids (e.g., single strands, linear duplexes, and plasmids ) (Fig. 1) are important biological machinery for the storage and transmission of genetic information .

  9. Coding theory approaches to nucleic acid design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_theory_approaches...

    The field of DNA computing was established in Leonard M. Adelman's seminal paper. [1] His work is significant for a number of reasons: It shows how one could use the highly parallel nature of computation performed by DNA to solve problems that are difficult or almost impossible to solve using the traditional methods.
