E N D
Intro • Two of most promising technologies of future: • Biotechnology: Use of living in the creation of wealth (products or processes) • Nanotechnology: creation, investigation and utilisation of systems that are 1000 times smaller than the components currently used in the field of microelectronics. • The interface of these two worlds lies Nanobiotechnology • It uses nanotechnology to analyse and create biological nanosystems • It uses biological materials and structural plans to produce technical, functional nanosystems
Intro • Functionalbiological assemblies are inspiration for nanotechnologicalsystems and devices • Molecularrecognition btw.building blocksself-assemblyformation offunctional devices • motors,pumps, cables, etc, all functioning at the nano-scale
What we should know and what are the possibilities?? • Interaction between biological and non-biological devices??? • Interactions with biological as well as non-biological substrates • Toxicity • How does nature make use of adhesive and anti-adhesive interactions? • Screening methods in biology • Bio-Chips • Lab-on-a-chip • Nanotechnologicallymodified biomaterials • Nano aspects of biological systems • Nanotechnological tools to improve biomaterials • Nanoparticles as therapeutic drug carriers and diagnostics • Drug, oligonucleotide, imaging agents • Nanodevicesin medicine, pharmacy and biology
Bionano-DNA as templateGazid E., FEBS Journal, 2006 DNA is very suitable for nanotechnologicalapplications from the material sciencepoint of view: • The diameter of ssDNA is less than1 nm • DNA molecules are chemically very robust • Lowcost of large-scale chemicalDNA synthesis • Easy modification: for example, bybiotinylationor thiolation
Bionano-DNA as templateGazid E., FEBS Journal, 2006 Examples: • DNA used in the formation of nanowires (1998):Metallization of dsDNA btw two gold electrodes to form conductive silver nanowire • DNA-binding proteins (Figure)
