Molecular programming and microsystems.

抄録

In the past three decades, DNA has emerged as a versatile polymer to build and program at the nanoscale, allowing the construction of a rich variety of nanostructures. The programmability of DNA has also paved the way for the interdisciplinary field of molecular programming, which seeks to understand how to best program molecules –inspired by the vast information processing capabilities of cells. Here we focus on recent efforts in LIMMS aimed at combining microsystems and molecular programs, demonstrating how the dimensions and throughput offered by the former complement aptly the molecular control of the latter.
