{"product_id":"9781138453333","title":"DNA Nanoscience : From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology","description":"\u003cp\u003eDNA Nanoscience: From Prebiotic Origins to Emerging Nanotechnology melds two tales of DNA. One is a look at the first 35 years of DNA nanotechnology to better appreciate what lies ahead in this emerging field. The other story looks back 4 billion years to the possible origins of DNA which are shrouded in mystery. The book is divided into three parts comprised of 15 chapters and two Brief Interludes.Part I includes subjects underpinning the book such as a primer on DNA, the broader discipline of nanoscience, and experimental tools used by the principals in the narrative. Part II examines the field of structural DNA nanotechnology, founded by biochemist\/crystallographer Nadrian Seeman, that uses DNA as a construction material for nanoscale structures and devices, rather than as a genetic material. Part III looks at the work of physicists Noel Clark and Tommaso Bellini who found that short DNA (nanoDNA) forms liquid crystals that act as a structural gatekeeper, orchestrating a series of self-assembly processes using nanoDNA. This led to an explanation of the polymeric structure of DNA and of how life may have emerged from the prebiotic clutter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52655261286711,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1486.8,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781138453333-1.jpg?v=1784952785","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781138453333","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
