タイトル | DNA-Based Nanomaterials: Preparation and Potential Application. |
概要 | The rapidly emerging DNA nanotechnology began with pioneer Seeman’s hypothesis that DNA not only can carry genetic information but also can be used as molecular organizer to create well-designed and controllable nanomaterials for applications in materials science, nanotechnology and biology. DNA-based self-assembly represents a versatile system for nanoscale construction due to the well-characterized conformation of DNA and its predictability in the formation of base pairs. The structural features of nucleic acids form the basis of constructing a wide variety of DNA nanoarchitectures with well-defined shapes and sizes, in addition to controllable permeability and flexibility. More importantly, self-assembled DNA nanostructures can be easily functionalized with biomolecules for multi-purposes. My talk will focus on the design of DNA-based nanostructures and exploration of their potential applications in targeted drug delivery, therapeutics and diagnostic. |
