Materials Science of DNA

As interest continues to grow, DNA is expected to become focal to nanobiotechnology because of its structural and chemical characteristics. With chapters written by experts in their respective fields, this text chiefly focuses on the rapidly growing fields of nanoscience, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. It is the first to address the materials science facet of DNA, rather than its chemical, biochemical, or biological aspects. It includes tables, graphs, equations, and an ancillary CD-ROM to provide understanding of DNA and the great potential of this biopolymer as advanced material.
