Applications

The trends in nano-fabrication
• The miniaturization, top-down ‘‘sizeshrinking’’– microelectronics technology– pushing down the limits of size and– compactness of components and devices
• The nanofabrication and nanomanipulation bottom-up– molecular nanotechnology– of novel nanolevel materials and methods– (e.g., near-field scanning microscopies) to– electrical devices built on carbon nanotubes – optical devices like optical sieves (69).
• The supramolecular self-organization approach– complexity through self-processing,– self-fabrication by controlled assembly & hierarchical growth– connected operational systems

Remember Nucleic Acids (DNA) and their Self-Assembly properties
• An example of a reciprocal exchange: Two DNA helices are connected by sharing two DNA strands (Seeman, 2001)

Advantages of nucleic acids as nanomaterials
• Size: Ø of 1nm for ssDNA and Ø 2nm for dsDNA
• Chemical stability and robustness
• Production costs for synthesis are low
• Self-assembly properties

DNA as scaffold for nano-architectures
![Page 7: Self-Organizing Bio-structures NB2-2009 L.Duroux.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc728/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1. Using ssDNA as template to self-assemble nanostructures
![Page 8: Self-Organizing Bio-structures NB2-2009 L.Duroux.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc728/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A simple case of ssDNA-functionalized micro-beads
• Specific and reversible aggregation of micro-beads grafted with oligonucleotides
• The key to reversibility is preventing the particles from falling into their van der Waals well at close distances
T= 23¤C T= 50¤C
Polymer brush -> steric repulsion
Valignat et al, 2005. PNAS 102(12): 4225-29

Interaction Energies of micro-beads
• Trick is: create a Uminimum well outside UvdW well
• Balancing finely Urep and Udna
• Limiting the number of base-pair bonds between two cDNAs
![Page 10: Self-Organizing Bio-structures NB2-2009 L.Duroux.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc728/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Lennard-Jones Potential
• Potential function of:– Depth of potential well
()– Distance at which
potential is zero ()
• Term in power 12 describes repulsive forces

Directed Assembly of micro-beads with optical tweezers
• Beads are immobilized on array of discrete optical traps
• Optical tweezers to move the traps closer to trigger DNA hybridization
![Page 12: Self-Organizing Bio-structures NB2-2009 L.Duroux.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc728/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Effect of ssDNA length and rigidity
• Micro-beads manipulated with optical tweezers
• Two types of DNA hybrids: “flexi” and “rigid”
Biancaniello et al, 2005. Phys Rev Lett. 94:058302

Binding Energies as function of rigidity of ssDNA
• For identical Tm (43.7¤C), “rigid” spacer gives stronger U well
![Page 14: Self-Organizing Bio-structures NB2-2009 L.Duroux.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc728/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Effect of ssDNA density on aggregate structuration
• DNA density of 14000 molecules / sphere lead to unstructured aggregates
• DNA density of 3700 molecules / sphere lead to self-assembled crystallites
14000/sphere 3700/sphere
3700/sphere T >> Tm

N. Seeman: the father of DNA nanotechnology
• Any type of ss or dsDNA secondary structure can be exploited to create geometric shapes by self-assembly
• Typically, junctions and sticky-ends are exploited for this purpose

Computation by Self-assembly of DNA Tilings
• Tiling Self-assembly can:– Provide arbitrarily complex assemblies using only a
small number of component tiles.– Execute computation, using tiles that specify
individual steps of the computation.
• Computation by DNA tiling lattices:– Fist proposed by Winfree (1998)– First experimentally demonstrated by Mao, et al
(2000) and N.C. Seeman (2000).

Implementation of abstract Wang-tiles with DNA tiles
Winfree, 2003
![Page 45: Self-Organizing Bio-structures NB2-2009 L.Duroux.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc728/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The Tile Assembly Model
• Only tiles with binding strength > 2 bonds will bind
![Page 46: Self-Organizing Bio-structures NB2-2009 L.Duroux.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc728/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Advantages of Biomolecular Computation
• Ultra Scale: each ”processor” is a molecule.• Massively Parallel: number of elements could
be 1018 to 1020
• High Speed: perhaps 1015 operations per second.
• Low Energy:– example calculation ~10-19 Joules/op.– electronic computers ~10-9 Joules/op.
• Existing Biotechnology: well tested recombinant DNA techniques.
![Page 47: Self-Organizing Bio-structures NB2-2009 L.Duroux.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc728/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Potential Disadvantages of BiomolecularComputation:
• Many Laboratory Steps Required:– is very much reduced by Self-Assembly !
• Error Control is Difficult:– may use a number of methods for error-
resilient Self-Assembly
![Page 48: Self-Organizing Bio-structures NB2-2009 L.Duroux.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc728/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Error-Resilient Self-assembly
• Bounds on error rates of self-assembly reactions:– No complete studies yet.– Non-computational assemblies appear to be less error-prone.
• Methods that may Minimize Errors in self-assembly:– Annealing Temperature Variation.– Improved Sequence Specificity of DNA Annealing.– Step-wise Assembly versus Free Assembly.– Use of DNA Lattices as a Reactive Substrate for Error Repair.

Why to Use Nucleic Acids?
Nucleic acids form complex secondary and tertiary structures and bind with high affinity to their target proteins.
They can be easily amplified using PCR techniques. DNA can be converted to RNA and RNA to DNA by in vitrotranscription and reverse transcription procedures.
Oligonucleotide polymers are excellent for in vivo studies as they can be chemically protected against enzymatically degradation.
Oligonucleotides have a low immunogenic potential.
Example for a biological active RNA molecule (aptamer)

What are the Possible Actions of Selected Aptamers on their Target Molecules (Enzymes or
Receptors)?
They can either acts:
Inhibitors: by blocking the agonist binding site or by inducing a transition from an active to an inactive protein conformation
Activators: by acting like an agonist or by stabilizing an active protein conformation
Protectors: by binding to a regulatory site and not affecting protein function. Being biologically inactive, it will displace inhibitors from their binding sites and protect enzymes / receptors against inhibition

The Use of SELEX
•As an synthetic antibody to determine the concentration of target molecules in biological fluids
•As an activator or inhibitor to study the functions of target proteins
•To target intracellular proteins and establish stable knock-outs of these proteins
•To determine the location of inhibitor / activator binding site on the target
•To isolate and purify the target molecule
•To evolve novel catalytic RNAs
