3. ABSTRACT:
DNA nanobiotechnology uses DNA structures and properties for constructing
nanostructured material and utilizes those nanostructured materials in biological,
engineering, and medical applications.
BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION:
• DISCOVERY OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE DNA IN 1953 BY WATSON AND CRICK
NATURE HAS BEEN AN INSPIRATION
• DNA HAVING UNIQUE PROPERTIES, SUCH AS A NANOSCALE STRUCTURAL GEOMETRY, INFORMATION
ENCODING, SELF-REPLICATING, AND SELF-ASSEMBLY, HAVE DEMONSTRATED IT AS AN EXCELLENT
FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCK MATERIAL FOR MOLECULAR NANOTECHNOLOGY
• DNA CAN BE USED AS A BOTTOM-UP CONSTRUCTION MEDIUM, A BUILDING BLOCK FOR SELF-ASSEMBLY
AND AS A NANOSTRUCTURE TO CONSTRUCT PERIODIC ASSEMBLIES AND COMPLEX NANOSTRUCTURES
• USING THE DNA AS A BOTTOM-UP CONSTRUCTION MOLECULE TO BUILD 3D ARRAYS. EXPLORING AND
IMPROVING ITS PROPERTIES TO PRODUCE AT A HIGHER DIMENSIONS
6. DETAILS ABOUT DNA GENETIC CODONS
THE NAMES OF DNA CODONS
A- ADENINE = 00
T- THYMINE = 01
G- GUANINE = 10
C- CYTOSINE = 11
An example– ( ATCCGT
=000111111001)
• The codes are very useful for the
calculation at the time of
chromosomal reactions as well as

8. FUTURE DIRECTIONS :
DNA computation
Drug Discovery Through (DTS)
Designing electronic circuit structures using DNA self-assembly
techniques
DNA motors to perform DNA like tasks and enhancement to nano
robots
Development of in vivo nano-sensors, etc.
Grand challenge :
To find an error correction method to solve problems in self-
assembly methods
Technical challenges :
to explore its electromagnetic, electrochemical and catalytic
properties
to produce high order object, arrays and lattices in 3D
to build efficiently self-assembled steady complex structures from
nano scale to macro-scale structures, etc.
