Nucleic acids have structurally evolved over billions of years to
effectively store and transfer genetic information. In the 1980s,
Nadrian Seeman's idea of constructing a 3D lattice from DNA led to
utilizing DNA as nanomolecular building blocks to create emergent
molecular systems and nanomaterial objects. This bottom-up approach
to construct nanoscale architectures with DNA marked the beginning
of a new field, DNA nanotechnology, contributing significantly to
the broad area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The molecular
architectonics of small "designer" molecules and short DNA
sequences through complementary binding interaction engenders
well-defined functional nanoarchitectures with realistic
applications in areas ranging from biology to materials science and
is termed "DNA nanoarchitectonics." This book discusses novel
approaches adapted by leading researchers from all over the world
to create functional nucleic acid molecular systems and
nanoarchitectures. Individual chapters contributed by active
practitioners provide fundamental and advanced knowledge emanated
from their own and others' work. Each chapter includes numerous
illustrations, historical perspectives, case studies and practical
examples, critical discussions, and future prospects. This book can
serve as a practical handbook or as a textbook for advanced
undergraduate- and graduate-level students of nanotechnology and
DNA nanotechnology, supramolecular chemistry, and
nanoarchitectonics and researchers working on macromolecular
science, nanotechnology, chemistry, biology, and medicine,
especially those with an interest in sensors, biosensors,
nanoswitches and nanodevices, diagnostics, drug delivery, and
therapeutics.
