1 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

2 Points to Cover 1.) Patterning by Controlled Evaporation 2.) Free-Standing Nanoparticle Superlattices 3.) Nanocrystal Characterization

3 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. Letsinger, R. C. Mucic, and J. J. Storhoff, "A DNA-based method for assembling nanoparticles into macroscopic materials," Nature 382, 607-609 (1996) Alivisatos, A. P.; Johnsson, K. P.; Peng, X. G.; Wilson, T. E.; Loweth, C. J.; Bruchez, M. P.; Schultz, P. G., Organization of 'nanocrystal molecules' using DNA. Nature 1996, 382, (6592), 609-611. 199 6
