Thesis
Control and observation of DNA nanodevices
- Abstract:
-
The uniquely predictable and controllable binding mechanism of DNA strands has been exploited to construct a vast range of synthetic nanodevices, capable of autonomous motion and computation. This thesis proposes novel ideas for the control and observation of such devices. The first of these proposals hinges on introducing mismatched base pairs into toehold-mediated strand displacement – a fundamental primitive in most dynamic DNA devices and reaction networks. Previous findings that such ...
