DNA-PROTEIN NANOTECHNOLOGY

This work describes recent synthetic and analytical
approaches to biological nanomaterials, specifically
protein-DNA loops and nanostructures. Drs. Morgan
and Kahn describe the design considerations leading
to useful DNA constructs, the application of state
of the art spectroscopic methods to understanding
protein-DNA conformation and dynamics, and early
steps toward designed protein-DNA nanostructures.
Unlike most textbooks, the book also lays out some
of the frustrations that impede research progress,
so the reader can appreciate the human side of
research on molecules.
