  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]

  3. Nanobiotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanobiotechnology

    For example, DNA nanotechnology or cellular engineering would be classified as bionanotechnology because they involve working with biomolecules on the nanoscale. Conversely, many new medical technologies involving nanoparticles as delivery systems or as sensors would be examples of nanobiotechnology since they involve using nanotechnology to ...

  4. Nucleic acid design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_design

    Nucleic acid design is used in DNA nanotechnology to design strands which will self-assemble into a desired target structure. These include examples such as DNA machines, periodic two- and three-dimensional lattices, polyhedra, and DNA origami. [2]

  5. Nanotechnology in agriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology_in_agriculture

    Current areas of focus of nanotechnology development in the agricultural industry include development of environmentally conscious nano fertilizers to provide efficient ion, and nutrient delivery into plant cells, and plant gene transformations to produce plants with desirable genes such as drought resistance and accelerated growth cycles. [4]

  6. Nanostructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanostructure

    A nanostructure is a structure of intermediate size between microscopic and molecular structures. Nanostructural detail is microstructure at nanoscale. In describing nanostructures, it is necessary to differentiate between the number of dimensions in the volume of an object which are on the nanoscale.

  7. Spherical nucleic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_nucleic_acid

    Due to their structure and function, SNAs occupy a materials space distinct from DNA nanotechnology and DNA origami, [20] [21] (although both are important to the field of nucleic acid–guided programmable materials. [22] With DNA origami, such structures are synthesized via DNA hybridization events.

  8. Molecular machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_machine

    Naturally occurring or biological molecular machines are responsible for vital living processes such as DNA replication and ATP synthesis. Kinesins and ribosomes are examples of molecular machines, and they often take the form of multi-protein complexes. For the last several decades, scientists have attempted, with varying degrees of success ...

  9. Nucleic acid quaternary structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_quaternary...

    The term has also been used to describe the hierarchical assembly of artificial nucleic acid building blocks used in DNA nanotechnology. [3] The quaternary structure of DNA refers to the formation of chromatin. Because the human genome is so large, DNA must be condensed into chromatin, which consists of repeating units known as nucleosomes.
