It is possible to generate sequences of oligomeric nucleic acids which will preferentially
associate to form migrationally immobile junctions, rather than linear duplexes, as they usually …

A PRINCIPAL goal of biotechnology is the assembly of novel biomaterials for analytical,
industrial and therapeutic purposes. The advent of stable immobile nucleic acid branched …

The specific bonding of DNA base pairs provides the chemical foundation for genetics. This
powerful molecular recognition system can be used in nanotechnology to direct the …

Molecular self-assembly presents a ‘bottom-up’ approach to the fabrication of objects specified
with nanometre precision. DNA molecular structures and intermolecular interactions are …

Revised Manuscript Received January 8, 1993 abstract: DNA molecules containing two
crossover sites between helical domainshave been suggested as intermediates in …

The combination of synthetic stable branched DNA and sticky-ended cohesion has led to
the development of structural DNA nanotechnology over the past 30 years. The basis of this …

We present an experimental realization of a molecular walking motor built from DNA. The
device consists of a biped and a well-defined track where it walks. Input DNA strands act as a …

Knots, polyhedra, and Borromean rings with specific structural and topological features can
be made from DNA. Biotechnologists have been exploiting the programmability of DNA …

An interactive procedure has been developed to assign sequences for the design of nucleic
acid secondary structure. The primary goal of the procedure is to facilitate macromolecular …

A substantial challenge in engineering molecular motors is designing mechanisms to coordinate
the motion between multiple domains of the motor so as to bias random thermal motion. …
