DNA has played an early and powerful role in the development of bottom-up
nanotechnologies, not least because of DNA's precise, predictable, and controllable …

In biology, nucleic acids are carriers of molecular information: DNA's base sequence stores
and imparts genetic instructions, while RNA's sequence plays the role of a messenger and a …

In contrast to B-DNA that has a right-handed double helical structure with Watson–Crick
base pairing under the ordinary physiological conditions, repetitive DNA sequences under …

In this critical review we review enzymatic systems which involve biocatalytic reactions
utilized for information processing (biocomputing). Extensive ongoing research in …

DNA has many physical and chemical properties that make it a powerful material for
molecular constructions at the nanometer length scale. In particular, its ability to form …

The structural properties that enable DNA to serve so effectively as genetic material can also
be used for other purposes. The complementarity that leads to the pairing of the strands of …

The molecular recognition properties of DNA molecules combined with the distinct
mechanical properties of single and double strands of DNA can be utilized for the …

DNA may seem an unlikely molecule from which to build nanostructures, but this is not
correct. The specificity of interaction that enables DNA to function so successfully as genetic …

Surface functionalization with bioactive molecules (BAMs) on a nanometre scale is a main
field in current biomaterial research. The immobilization of a vast number of substances and …

DNA is not only in the focus of modern molecular biology, but also plays an increasingly
important role as a building block for nanoscale materials and devices. In recent years …
