Computational Prototyping Tools For Biological Applications

5.0 out of 5 stars

Online Presentations | 03 Dec 2004 | Contributor(s):: Jacob White

Computational tools are playing a rapidly expanding role in biology, both for engineering design and in exploratory science. The main reason is that the dramatic improvements in the measurement and mathematical modeling of basic biochemical and biological processes is making it possible to...

Construction of an Imitating Nano-motor Driven by Six ATP-binding RNAs of Bacterial Virus phi29

0.0 out of 5 stars

Online Presentations | 02 Dec 2004 | Contributor(s):: Peixuan Guo

A switchable imitating DNA-packaging motor was constructed in the laboratory. The motor is driven by six synthetic ATP-binding pRNA (packaging RNA) molecules that bind to the connector and function in a manner similar to the driving of a bolt with a hex nut. Conformational change and sequential...

Interfacing Carbon Nanotubes with Biological Systems: From Biosensors to Cellular Transporters

4.0 out of 5 stars

Online Presentations | 21 Oct 2004 | Contributor(s):: Hongjie Dai

This talk will discuss two relatively new topics in carbon nanotube research. The first is nanotubes for chemical and biological sensors, an exploration motivated by the ultra high surface area of single walled carbon nanotubes and the need for label free electronic detectors for a wide range of...

Linking Bio and Nano... an Extended Discussion 2004-2005

0.0 out of 5 stars

Series | 12 Dec 2004

Connecting artificial nanotechnology to biological systems is a topic of great interest these days, but the interfaces between electronic, mechanical, and biological systems have always been less than intimate.

Nanotechnology 101 Lecture Series

3.5 out of 5 stars

Series | Contributor(s):: Joseph M. Cychosz (editor)

Welcome to Nanotechnology 101, a series of lectures designed to provide an undergraduate-level introduction to nanotechnology. In contrast, the Nanotechnology 501 series offers lectures for the graduate-level and professional audiences.

Nanosystems Biology

5.0 out of 5 stars

Online Presentations | 10 Sep 2004 | Contributor(s):: James R. Heath

As we enter the 21st century, we stand at a major inflection point for biology and medicine-the way we view and practice these disciplines is changing profoundly. These changes are being driven by systems biology, a new approach to biology, and which will increasingly transform medicine from...

Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube for Interconnects and Nanoelectrode Based Biosensors

0.0 out of 5 stars

Online Presentations | 15 Apr 2004 | Contributor(s):: Jun Li

In the past few years, tremendous progress in the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been made, which enabled the fabrication of various CNT devices for applications in electronics, biomedical techniques, and chemical/biological sensors. We have established a process to grow vertically aligned...

Biostimulation of Human Endothelial Cells Using Applied Photonic Energy

0.0 out of 5 stars

Presentation Materials | 16 Aug 2004 | Contributor(s):: Emile Rochen

Endothelial cells can be envisioned as the circulatory gateways between the bloodstream and bodily tissues. These cells, which line the interior of our arteries and veins, provide a critical exchange function within the body.

Self-Assembled Monolayer of DNA Microarrays

0.0 out of 5 stars

Presentation Materials | 16 Aug 2004 | Contributor(s):: Joanny Tam

Conductivity experiments with DNA have already been performed. With this in mind, we experimented using the charge transport of DNA to receive signals about detection of similar DNA sequences of another species through the linking of complementary ssDNA on chips; subsequently, these methods can...
