Introduction to Nanotechnology
1
Overview
• Much biology is mediated in the 1-100 nm range
• Structures and sizes
• Inspiration for Self Assembly and Molecular Machine concepts
2
Nanotech and Biology
BioNanotechnology:
• use of biology (biological molecules) in nanotech
• use of biology as a model for a nanotechnology system
• Ex. DNA computing
Nanobiotechnology:
• use of nanostructures to enhance biology or biotech
• use of nanotechnology for creating or improving biotech
systems or processes
• Ex. Lab-on-a-chip assays

How Biology “Feels” on the Nanoscale
• Hydro environments v. carbon-based life
• What are these tiny species in a cell?
• Sugars (carbohydrates)
• Fatty acids (lipids)
• Nucleotides (DNA)
• Amino Acids (proteins)
7
Carbohydrates
Roles:
1. Mechanical support (large carbohydrates, ex. cellulose)
2. Metabolized and used for energy
• Sugars are basic building blocks
•
general formula: (CH2O)n
•
examples
• glucose (n= 6)
• fructose (n= 6)
• ribose (n= 5)
• loop on themselves to form rings
• rings attach to make chains of many types

Lipids
Roles:
1. Energy (concentrated energy reserve)
2. Structural (ex. membranes)
• Fatty acids are basic building blocks

•
long carbon chains with COOH head group
•
•
amphiphilic  interesting self-assembled structures
saturated; monounsaturated; polyunsaturated…
Oleic acid
11
Phospholipids
• Pair of fatty acids, connected by glycerol and phosphate group
• Usually also bonded to a small hydrophilic molecule
• Capable of self-assembly and self-repair!

DNA
Roles:
1. Stores, replicates information
2. Along with RNA and proteins, translates info into product
• Nucleotides are basic building blocks
•
Deoxidized ribose rings chained together with
phosphate bridges
•
Pendant on the ribose rings are the four “bases”
• Specific hydrogen bonding based pairing

Application of BioNanotech:
Scaffolded DNA Origami
Use short single strands of DNA (“staples”) to direct folding
of long strands of DNA to make nanostructures

Application of BioNanotech:
Fluorescence tagging
• Fluorescence tag attached to cDNA
– Organic dyes
• Cy3 and Cy5
– Quantum Dots
29
Application of NanoBiotech:
Metal Nanoparticle/Film Binding Assays
• Surface plasmon resonance

Protein Binding
Basic phenomenon in much of biology

Protein Microarray Screening
Surface Plasmon Resonance
The optical properties (reflectivity or spectral absorption) of a
metal thin film or particle is determined by the size, shape,
and number of any molecules attached to it.

32
Protein Microarray Screening
At some particular angle or wavelength, most of the input
light energy will be converted to a plasmon
Specular Angle
specular angle
reflectivity
Input Light
output light
reflectivity = output/input
Reflectivity minimum is dependent
on type of molecule bonded
specular angle or wavelength
33
Protein Microarray Screening
Monitor SPR curves over time to track binding events
34
Raman Spectroscopy
• Gives information about vibrational (low energy)
states

Magnetism
• Magnetic field induces changes in alignment of
electron spins in a substance
• Paramagnetism: unpaired spin magnetic
moment is alligned with applied field
• Ferromagnetism: unpaired spins align in absence
of magnetic field
• Diamagnatism: a magnetic moment opposing
the applied field from paired electrons

Magnetic Memory
• Non-volatile (is not lost when power is removed)
– Co – alloy material
• Magnetic domains are 1 and 0
