Investigation on the gain-of-function process by the formation of nanoparticle assemblage using DNA origami
Project Gist
Precious positioning technology using biomolecules
Keywords
DNA origami, Nanoparticle superstructure, Interaction between nanomaterials
Background and Purpose
The precious integration technology of nanomaterial is an important subject for the development of next generation nanoelectronics and photonics. In this project, we developed the novel integration technique of nanomaterial with ultra high resolution using biomolecules.
Project Achievements
Our novel technology for integration of nanoparticles onto DNA origami approached the realization of the bottom up technology with the positioning capability of single nm. In addition, through the holding of three international symposiums, we formed interdisciplinary and international networks.
Future Prospects
Realization of two- and three-dimensional precise integration of nanoparticles using the DNA origami.
