This book is intended for non-specialists and students, presenting
a unique introduction to the field of DNA nanotechnology. The
primary focus is on the extraordinary advantages of specificity and
sensitivity obtained by integrating DNA nanostructures in
bioanalytical devices.DNA Nanotechnology for Bioanalysis provides a
concise and rigorous description for the fabrication of various
types of functional nanostructures by optimized software-aided
high-yield synthesis. Following this is the explanation of methods
to decorate these nanostructures with molecules such as proteins,
metal nanoparticles or bioorganic moieties covalently bonded onto
DNA via self-assemblage processes. Also provided is a concise
review on non-canonical DNA structures (such as G-quadruplexes) and
their targeting by small molecules for applications in
pharmacology. Finally, it describes the exciting applications of
DNA nanostructures in life sciences and nanomedicine, including
ultraspecific molecular delivery, control of cell behavior,
analysis of cell lysate and DNA-based nano-tools for
super-resolution sub-cellular imaging.
