"Rational Design of DNA Machines"

Dr. Niles A. Pierce
California Institute of Technology

Friday, May 6, 2005

3:30-4:30 p.m.

Abstract
Single-stranded DNA is a versatile construction material that can be 
programmed to self-assemble into nanoscale devices driven by the free 
energy of base pair formation. Rational sequence design methods based on 
efficient partition function algorithms permit simultaneous optimization of 
affinity and specificity for target secondary structures that define the 
function of a device. These methods have been used to engineer a synthetic 
DNA walker that mimics the gait of kinesin and a class of biosensors based 
on the mechanism of hybridization chain reaction.
