form phosphodiester bonds.(which are known as the 3’ and 5’ carbons).
The four bases found in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and
thymine (T). These four bases are attached to the sugar-phosphate to form he
complete nucleotide
The DNA double helix is stabilized primarily by two forces: hydrogen bond:

Base-stacking Interactions
>» When this interactions occurs, that two aromatic rings, such as two,
plates, are placed nearby on each other.
> Interactive periodic rise and fall in electron cloud, creates a force
between the rings.
» When the electron cloud is thin around one of the ring and a
positive charge is created, in that moment, the other one (another
ring), has a thick electron cloud which gives it a negative charge.
Then a link between the positive and negative charges will be
created.
» In the next moment, the position of positive and negative areas is)
changed. as the result, the connection of the rings will be —
continuous. The reason for this is the harmony of electron cloud
rise and fall times in the adjacent rings.
» This interaction can be flexible and take on the different struct

A question ??!!
Why do we consider DNA as an important molecule
in Nano-biotechnology applications?
vvvy
» DNA is a bio-database in the all of the living creatures
» Self-Assembly Property
» Also: Electrical conductivity and Catalytic function
صفحه 13:
DNA Self-Assembly.1-2
this is an important Property
» Self-assembly is one of the key approaches that might
enable future methods to be developed for building
nanostructures and nanodevices
» Self-assembly is a process in which a disordered
system of pre-existing components forms an organized
structure or pattern as a consequence of specific, local
interactions among the components themselves,
without external direction. Self-assembly processes
occur in nature in various forms, from molecular-level
protein folding and the formation of lipid bilayers to the
establishment of Earth’s entire biological system.
صفحه 14:
Self-assembly
» Self-assembly can be classified as either static or
dynamic. In static self-assembly, the ordered state
forms as a system approaches equilibrium,
reducing its free energy. However, in dynamic self-
assembly, patterns of pre-existing components
organized by specific local interactions are not
commonly described as_ "self-assembled" by
scientists .These structures are better described as
"self-organized", although these terms are often
used interchangeably.
صفحه 15:
DNA origami
> One of the milestones in DNA nanotechnology was
the invention of DNA origami.
>» in this technique, long, single-stranded DNA is
folded into target shapes with the help of hundreds
of short DNA strands called staples. The staple
strands are designed to be complementary to
particular regions of the long DNA, and thereby
guide the folding process. A wide variety of 2D and
3D nano-objects has been made using this
technique.

Three-dimensional DNA origami
صفحه 17:
single-stranded tile (SST) assembly
>» Another important design strategy in DNA
nanotechnology is single-stranded tile (SST)
assembly.
>» in which SSTs — nanometre-scale 2D rectangles or
3D bricks, formed from single-stranded DNA — are
designed to interlock with each other through the
formation of DNA duplexes at their interfaces.
Collections of SSTs are used to form 2D sheets or 3D
blocks that can be selectively ‘sculpted’ to create
different patterns and shapes, simply by including
or omitting specific SSTs.

ends of the DNA-wire. The DNA acts as the electron donor and
receiver
» Actually the conductivity of DNA is depends on its sequence and
conditions of the formation.
» DNA can even be used to Photoelectric transmission.(The
photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons or other free
carriers when light shines on a material).
۲ Any molecular interference in two DNA strands, reduces the
conductivity of DNA. This is the basis for using DNA as biosensors

In simultaneous genetic mutation, DNA random sequence is
created by placing nucleotides at the different positions
(mutation) . Then, the PCR reaction is performed (amplification).
Each single-stranded oligonucleotide, creates a 3-D structure.
Following that, an oligonucleotide capable to detecting and
connecting to the target molecule, will be separated during the
natural selection and washing process. The natural selection
holds the oligonucleotide that can attach to the target molecule.
And the rest of them will be removed during the washinia
process

» York and his colleagues developed the nanomachine
that worked with the fuel of the DNA
This DNA-nanomachine is made up of three chains(A, B
and C), which create the Tweezers-Like structure. At the
edge of this structure, a joint part is created between B
and C (24 bases). F fragment is another chain that has
a complementary sequence with both B and C
fragments. For this reason, it can close the edge of the
tweezers-like structure. On the other hand, adding
another fragment called F’ which is complementary to
the F fragment, will release it (the F fragment).
Actually, F and F’ act as the fule for this machine

2-7.DNA Nanostructures as Drug-
Delivery Vehicles
DNA molecules can be assembled into custom predesigned
shapes via hybridization of sequence-complementary domains.
The folded structures have high spatial addressability and a
tremendous potential to serve as platforms and active
components in a plethora of nanobiotechnological applications.
The tailored molecular devices could be used in targeting cells
and triggering the cellular actions in the biological environment.
The DNA origami is remarkably impressive example of precise
engineering and construction at the nanoscale which is
important in drug delivery.
The attractiveness of the origami method lies in the fact that
one can add any desired functionality to the tailored DNA shapes.
by assembling other biomolecules and molecular components to
them with nanometer scale precision.

new avenues for tackling diverse medical tasks.
» Studies have shown that DNA nanostructure is a nice drug carrier
to overcome big obstacles existing in cancer therapy such as
systemic toxicity and unsatisfied drug efficacy.
» Scientists managed to deliver doxorubicin (an anticancer drug and
a DNA intercalator) into cells in-vivo, using rod-like DNA origamis
and DNA origami triangles as carriers.
» Researchers have constructed various DNA polyhedrons, from DNA
tetrahedron, DNA octahedron to DNA icosahedron, which can be
served as simple carriers in anticancer drugs delivery.
'! polyhedron is a three dimensions solid object with many plane
faces, typically more than six.
>» By adding marker molecules (mAb, Folic acid or even an aptamer),
to the DNA nanostructure, it will be a purposeful nano carrier.
These marker molecules should have a specific receptors on the
target cell surface.(this process named as Active targeting)
صفحه 39:
Targeted drug delivery
» Even, we can use the DNA itself as a marker molecule to
make purposeful nanocarriers
» pay attention: If we use the Aptamer as the marker
molecule, we don’t need the chemical modifications of
DNA nano carrier.
» With targeted drug delivery, the effect of treatment has
increased (Enhanced Permeability and Retention

>» DNA nanoribbon is another simple DNA structure and just
as the name implies is a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA).
» DNA nanoribbon can be generated from simplified DNA
origami technology. Using this technology, researchers
constructed different nanoribbons to deliver Dox, siRNA,
Photosensitizer and so on..(Photosensitizer (Porphyrin, Chlorine) is
used in photodynamic therapy)
» The major development of DNA nanoribbon in anticancer
drug delivery is the construction of targeted or activatable
DNA nanoribbon.
» Liang and his colleagues, designed a DNA nanoribbon with
two components. One component was dsDNA, which was rich
in -GC- base pairs for Dox delivery. And the other component
was a DNA aptamer named AS1411 which could target
cancer cells by binding with nucleolin. Modified with AS1411
aptamer, this drug delivery system showed effectively
increased cell uptake and decreased cell efflux of Dox.
