Materials Science of DNA

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