The Latest advancement in DNA Chemistry had made programmed self-assembling of small nano-bio-molecular structures possible with great precision. This is used as an extension to improve nano-particle formation to lower size scales. This can be achieved in a single molecular operation, which is a great improvement. Using such smaller size molecules as templates, chemists can synthesis various polymers, medicines, and inorganic nanoparticles with great precision and flexibility. This post discusses the recent advancements in DNA Chemistry. It also discusses how various DNA related advancements can be used to synthesis useful polymers and medicines.
The latest advancement in DNA in chemistry
As a matter of fact, the latest advancement in DNA in chemistry has seen enthusiasm for DNA molecules. More research is being done, which leads from the initial biological and chemical arena to the current nanoscience age. As the advantages of precision and design flexibility, advances in DNA self-assembly techniques have made DNA structures a new type of “star” material in nanotechnology.
In addition, DNA detection technologies have increasing importance in our everyday lives. These include uses and applications ranging from microbial diagnostics to forensic analysis, food safety evaluation, and environmental monitoring. Currently, as the associated costs decrease, DNA diagnostic techniques are routinely used in research laboratories, in clinical and forensic practice. An excellent example of this is the transfer of insulin gene from rat genome to E. Coli Bacterium genome. As a matter of fact, this is done to produce insulin by E. Coli Bacterium. The same insulin is injected into diabetic patients.
DNA Engineering
With DNA engineering, specific genes or portion of the DNA of one species can be integrated with the genome of another species. Furthermore, with the help of these gene transfers, scientists can introduce specific traits or characteristics.
