Nanotechnology
“Nanotechnology is the art and science of manipulating matter at
nanoscale”
‘Nano’ is a Greek word, means Dwarf
1 nm = 10ˉ⁹ m i.e. one billionth of a meter

Nano scale

Richard Feynman,
Father of nanotechnology
Nobel Laureate(Physics)1965
Norio Taniguchi
coined the term “Nanotechnology” (1974)
Michael Faraday
1831

Properties of Nano particles
• Every substance regardless of composition exhibits new properties
when the size is reduced to nano scale
• Properties of material is changed due to quantum effect

Things behave differently in nano-world
 Carbon in the form of Graphite (i.e. pencil lead) is
soft, at the nano-scale, can be stronger than steel and
is six times lighter
 Nano-scale copper is a highly elastic metal at room
temperature, stretching to 50 times its original length
without breaking
 Shiny orange yellow Gold changes its colour to
brownish black on reducing the size
 Absorption of solar radiation in photovoltaic cells is
much higher in nanoparticles than it is in thin films
of continuous sheets of bulk material

History of DNA Nanotechnology
• 1964-Holliday Junction
• 1970-Sticky Ends
• 1980-DNA Nanotechnology
• 1991-first synthetic 3D DNA Nanostructure developed
• 1998-2D DNA Lattice
• 2006-2D DNA Origami developed
• 2009-3D DNA Origami developed

DNA nanotechnology was first laid out by Nadrian C Seeman in
the early 1980s
In 1991, Seeman's laboratory published a report on the first synthetic
cube made up of DNA

DNA Nanostructures

Why DNA IN NANO WORLD
• Basic Geometric and Thermodynamic properties of DNA are well known
and predictable by available software's like TILE SOFT, GenoCAD
• DNA’s Ladder like structure provides the key frame work to the
scientists
• Existence of commercially available modifying enzymes
• Persistent length of DNA is about 500Å
• Self assembly property of DNA makes easy to construct the variety of
structures in a predictable manner
• Shapes of DNA nanostructures can be controllable
• Synthesis of SsDNA is less expensive
• Assembled structures can be characterized by various techniques like
AFM,TEM,CryoEM

Construction of DNA Nanostructures
Mainly by using the following motifs
• Stem loop(Hair pin) structure
• Sticky ends
• Holliday Junction

Unpaired region occur in Ss DNA or RNA
The structure is also known as a hairpin or hairpin loop

Sticky ends
• An overhang is a stretch of unpaired nucleotides in the end of a DNA
molecule
• These overhangs are in most cases Palindromic
• Sticky ends are often used to combine two DNA nanostructures
together via hybridization of their complementary SsDNA

Holliday junction
• Robin Holliday proposed its existence in 1964
• Two parallel DNA helices form a junction with one strand of each
DNA helix crossing over to the other DNA helix

DNA Lattice
A DNA tile is a DNA nanostructure that has a number of
sticky ends on its sides, which are termed pads
A DNA lattice is a DNA nanostructure composed of a
group of DNA tiles that are assembled together via
hybridization of their pads
Winfree, Yang and Seeman (1996) developed a family
of DNA tiles known collectively as DX tiles

DNA Cube
• It is the first 3D DNA Structure
• DNA Axes connected to form the cube
• Each edge of the cube has 2 molecules
of dsDNA which are connected to
each other
• It contains 6 different strands

DNA Origami
• Rothemund used the 5
SsDNA of M13 Phage 2006
• In 2009 Anderson et al.
Extended to 3D Origami
• It is the nanoscale folding
of SsDNA to create non-
arbitrary two- and three-
dimensional shapes
• SARSE software is using for
developing the structure Shrishaila CD(GPB) UASR

• Double cross over arrays can be
folded to form the DNA Nanotubes
• Can be made in to rings and spirals
• Potential use in the fields of
Drug delivery
Gene therapy
Electronic circuits

• By shih, Quispe & joyce 2004
• By folding the five 40bp synthetic Ss DNA using a wire frame
structures

ATOMCALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS
In March 2004, ETC Group reported on a nanotech research initiative in
Thailand
That aims to atomically modify the characteristics of local rice varieties.
Researchers “drilled” a hole through the membrane of a rice cell in order
to insert a nitrogen atom that would stimulate the rearrangement of the
rice’s DNA.

Researchers have been able
to alter the colour of a local
rice variety from purple to
green Named as BKOS6
Thai jasmine rice (Oryza sativa L.
cv.KDML 105) Rice embryos
bombarded with N++N2+ ions at
an energy level of 60 keV
and ion fluence of 2×1016
ions/cm2

HAT-RAPD was applied for analysis of genomic variation in the mutant
out Of 10 primers,
two primers detected two additional DNA bands at 450 bp and 400 bp.
Indicates presence of amino acid sequence of flavanoids
