Autonomous programmable DNA nanorobotic devices using DNAzymes
A major challenge in nanoscience is the design of synthetic molecular devices that run autonomously (that is, without externally mediated changes per work-cycle) and are programmable (that is, their behavior can be modified without complete redesign of the device). DNA-based synthetic molecular devices have the advantage of being relatively simple to design and engineer, due to the predictable ...
متن کاملProgrammable autonomous synthesis of single-stranded DNA.
DNA performs diverse functional roles in biology, nanotechnology and biotechnology, but current methods for autonomously synthesizing arbitrary single-stranded DNA are limited. Here, we introduce the concept of primer exchange reaction (PER) cascades, which grow nascent single-stranded DNA with user-specified sequences following prescribed reaction pathways. PER synthesis happens in a programma...
متن کاملProgrammable DNA Nanosystem for Molecular Interrogation
We describe a self-assembling DNA-based nanosystem for interrogating molecular interactions. The nanosystem contains a rigid supporting dumbbell-shaped frame, a cylindrical central core, and a mobile ring that is coaxial with the core. Motion of the ring is influenced by several control elements whose force-generating capability is based on the transition of single-stranded DNA to double-strand...
متن کاملProgrammable springs: Developing actuators with programmable compliance for autonomous robots
Developing real robots that can exploit dynamic interactions with the environment requires the use of actuators whose behaviour can vary from high stiffness to complete compliance or zero impedance. We will outline our design for an electric actuator, called a programmable spring, which can be easily configured using a high level programming interface to emulate complex multimodal spring dampin...
متن کاملAutonomous Programmable Biomolecular Devices Using Self-Assembled DNA Nanostructures1
0. Summary This article overviews the past and current state of a selected part of the emerging research area of the field of biomolecular devices. We particularly emphasize molecular devices that are: • Autonomous: executing steps with no exterior mediation after starting, and • Programmable: the tasks executed can be modified without entirely redesigning the nanostructure. We discuss work in ...
