報告摘要：
Our research interests focus on the development of advanced Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) for biomedical analysis and manipulation. For this talk, I will give a brief introduce about the dynamic DNA structures for information relay. Now it is a very exciting time for DNA-based molecular self-assembly. Progress in the field points to a distant, but promising future that the full potential of bimolecular self-assembly may be realized. We can envision that one day artificial systems as large, and as complex as their biological counterparts will be rationally programmed and assembled. However, in spite of the rapid progress in the field of structural DNA technology, the functionality and dynamic behaviors of current massive, complex DNA structures are greatly dwarfed by naturally occurred biomolecular systems. This lack of sophisticated dynamic behaviors limits the advancement of the field. To address this problem, we developed a new concept to build large, scalable DNA structures that can go through step-by-step reversible transformation controlled by specifically designed pathways. Considering information transfer at molecular level is fundamental in many chemical reactions and biological processes (e.g. transmembrane isgnaling), we belever our study on this novel artificial DNA system will not only have impact on the field of structural DNA technology and its applications, but also help us to better understand information transfer in other chemical and biologcial systems.
