DNA Nanoscience: From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology
melds two tales of DNA. One is a look at the first 35 years of DNA
nanotechnology to better appreciate what lies ahead in this
emerging field. The other story looks back 4 billion years to the
possible origins of DNA which are shrouded in mystery. The book is
divided into three parts comprised of 15 chapters and two Brief
Interludes. Part I includes subjects underpinning the book such as
a primer on DNA, the broader discipline of nanoscience, and
experimental tools used by the principals in the narrative. Part II
examines the field of structural DNA nanotechnology, founded by
biochemist/crystallographer Nadrian Seeman, that uses DNA as a
construction material for nanoscale structures and devices, rather
than as a genetic material. Part III looks at the work of
physicists Noel Clark and Tommaso Bellini who found that short DNA
(nanoDNA) forms liquid crystals that act as a structural
gatekeeper, orchestrating a series of self-assembly processes using
nanoDNA. This led to an explanation of the polymeric structure of
DNA and of how life may have emerged from the prebiotic clutter.
