RNA Origami Technology in Cell Systems
Biomolecular nanotechnology aims at using the self-assembly principles of nature to create nanostructures and nanomachines for applications in biotechnology, medicine, and materials science. Advanced nanodevices, that sense inputs, do basic computations, and actuate functionality or movement within their nanoscale environment, are referred to as “nanorobots”. With advances in methods for prediction and design of RNA and protein structure, there is now a big opportunity to create complex biomolecular nanorobots. However, it is not clear how to combine multiple functional motifs and how to design the dynamical energy landscapes of molecular machines. In the RIBOTICS research proposal, I will…
