Enzyme-Free Nucleic Acid Dynamical Systems

摘要: INTRODUCTION Embedded controllers enable complex functionality in man-made mechanical and electronic devices. Similarly, intricate regulatory networks within living organisms are at the heart of all cellular processes. However, man-made embedded chemical controllers still cannot be engineered with the ease of their electronic counterparts. Synthetic biology attempts to close the gap by drawing upon billions of years of evolution, borrowing the complex machinery of the central dogma. By contrast, DNA nanotechnology …
