  1. Nanotechnology: a chemist’s constructivist viewMathematical Modeling, Technology and Bridging to the Nano-realm in Teaching Undergraduate Chemistry Dr. Ron Rusay Diablo Valley College University of California, Berkeley / Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

  2. Nanotechnology : Perspectives & Perceptions • How small is small? • The width of a human hair is ~ 50,000 nanometers • nanometer = 1 billionth of a meter (1/1,000,000,000 m; i.e., 50,000 x 10 -9 meters) • It takes about 200 human hairs lined up side by side to equal 1 cm • ….more than 500 per inch.

  3. 1/50 of ~ 50,000 nanometers

  4. What is considered too large for the nano realm?Powers of 10 (10 x)http://www.eamesoffice.com/powers_of_ten/powers_of_ten.htmlhttp://www.powersof10.com/ Plant Cell = 0.00001276 meters wide (12.76 x 10 -6) (12.76 millionths of a meter) (12,760 nanometers!) Earth = 12,760,000 meters wide (12.76 x 10 6), 12.76 million meters

  5. Nanotechnology: A Brief Chronology • Feynman’s miniaturization: prescience and seminal views (1959) http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html • Nanotechnology, (Journal’s first issue: 1990) http://www.iop.org/EJ/journal/0957-4484 • Curl, Kroto, Smalley: Nobel prize (1996); Fullerene, Nano tubes, http://www.nobel.se/chemistry/laureates/1996/ • National, Regional, Local Initiatives eg. • US: http://www.nano.gov/ • UK: http://www.nano.org.uk/ • Molecular Foundry (LBL): http://www.foundry.lbl.gov/ • Nano High School: http://www.lbl.gov/nanohigh/nanoscience_links.html

  6. “Nanotechnology” • Regarded as < 1,000 nanometers ~1/50 the diameter of a human hair. (Basically anything less than a micron (10-6 m). Chemists typically think in mental views and images of < 1 nanometer.) • Can be defined as the science of arranging and re-arranging atoms. (Manufacturing at a molecular level.) • Two commonly used terms that broadly describe Nanotechnology: • Positional assembly http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/CDAarticle.html • Self replication http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/selfRep.html

  7. Nano-scale: Models of Atoms & Molecules • Rutherford (1913-1917) • Atoms, molecules, and nucleii

  8. ~ 0.1 nm Anders Jöns Ångström (1814-1874) 1 Å = 10 picometers = 0.1 nanometers = 10-4 microns = 10-8 centimeters Nucleus = 1/10,000 of the atom • 1 nm = 10 Å • An atom vs. a nucleus • ~10,000 x larger

  9. Molecular Size, Shape & PropertiesOzone and Water 0.1278 nm • Resultant Molecular Dipoles > 0 • Solubility: Polar molecules that dissolve or are dissolved in like molecules • The Lotus flower • Water & dirt repellancy

  13. http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/ PROTEIN DATA BANK • What are PDB files? http://chemistry.Gsu.EDU/glactone/PDB/pdb.html • The PDB format (Protein Data Bank), from the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics) is a standard file format for the XYZ coordinates of atoms in a molecule. • A few lines from a PDB file for a DNA base pair structure • AUTHOR GENERATED BY GLACTONE • SEQRES 1 A 1 G • SEQRES 1 B 1 C • ATOM 1 P G A 1 -6.620 6.196 2.089 • ATOM 2 OXT G A 1 -6.904 7.627 1.869 • ATOM 3 O2P G A 1 -7.438 5.244 1.299 • ATOM 4 O5' G A 1 -5.074 5.900 1.839 • ATOM 5 C5' G A 1 -4.102 6.424 2.779 • ATOM 6 C4' G A 1 -2.830 6.792 2.049 • ATOM 7 O4' G A 1 -2.044 5.576 1.839 • ATOM 8 C3' G A 1 -2.997 7.378 0.649 • The last three columns are the XYZ coordinates of the atoms.PDB format can be applied to any molecule, very small to very large. It includess enormous on-line libraries of molecules.

  17. Globular proteins:A larger number of atoms rolled into relative small volumes Protein sizes are most often referred to by their molecular masses (daltons; 1 amu = 1 dalton), not by their dimensions because of their globular nature. RNA polymerase II-transcription factor J. Biol. Chem., Vol. 274, Issue 11, 6813-6816, 1999 The yellow dashed line is ~ 110-Å
