Matthew Mancuso BEE 7600, Professor Dan Luo Department of Biomedical Engineering, Cornell University Presented Thursday March 31 st, 2011 Nucleic Acids & Nanoparticles in the Luo Lab
Points to Cover 1.) Patterning by Controlled Evaporation 2.) Free-Standing Nanoparticle Superlattices 3.) Nanocrystal Characterization
DNA-Nanoparticle Structures: Different Crystals 1.) So what’s the big deal with DNA? How does it help us make nanostructures when combined with Goldnanoparticles? The Bottom Line: Base pair matching allows DNA-NP structures to be highly specific. GNPs allow for the creation of structures with vastly different material properties. C. A. Mirkin, R. L.
