BIOENGR 123
Introduction to Nucleic Acid Nanotechnology
Bioengineering · 4 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
Nucleic acid nanotechnology is a field at the intersection of molecular biology, nanoscience, chemistry, and engineering. Students gain fundamental understanding of the biomolecular and chemical properties of DNA and RNA and how these properties can be exploited to build and analyze nano- and micro-sized structures for applications that range from material science to medicine. Topics include DNA and RNA structure; nucleic acid thermodynamics; design, analysis, and simulation of nucleic acid assemblies; applications of nucleic acid nanostructures.
