Abstract

Danas je nanotehnologija jedna od grana znanosti koje najbrže napreduju budući da obuhvaća fiziku, kemiju, inženjering i biologiju. Zbog svojih izvanrednih osobina, nukleinske kiseline, DNA i RNA, postale su središtem zanimanja znanstvenika koji te osobine koriste u izgradnji novih materijala, nanostrojeva i drugih nanočestica, te onih koji razvijaju nove, jeftine, brze i efikasne laboratorijske metode radi daljnjeg proučavanja DNA i RNA. Cilj ovog rada je da pokaže kako se nanotehnologija... More primjenjuje u istraživanju nukleinskih kiselina, ali i obrnuto, odnosno, koju ulogu nukleinske kiseline imaju u razvoju nanotehnologije. DNA i RNA postale su nezamjenjive u bionanotehnologiji i sve se više koriste kao oruđe, a ne samo kao predmet istraživanja. Povrh toga, nove metode vizualizacije i nanomanipulacije doslovce su nam otvorile oči za nanosvijet te nam tako omogućile da oblikujemo tvari s velikom preciznošću. I na kraju, ova tehnologija može pomoći čovječanstvu na mnogo načina i u nizu različitih područja znanosti, kao što su medicina, ekologija, energetika, računalna znanost, itd. Less

Abstract (english)

Nanotechnology is one of the fastest growing fields of science today as it encompasses physics, chemistry, engineering and biology. Due to their remarkable properties, nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, have been in the center of interest of scientists who employ those properties to construct novel materials, nanomachines and other nanoparticles, and who have been developing new, low cost - high speed and efficacy, laboratory methods to learn more about DNA and RNA. The objective of this paper... More is to show how nanotechnology applies to nucleic acid research and vice versa, i.e. to show how nucleic acids contribute in the development of nanotechnology. DNA and RNA have proven themselves irreplaceable in bionanotechnology and are being used more and more as engineering tools rather than as test subjects. Moreover, new visualization and nanomanipulation techniques have literally opened our eyes to the nanoworld enabling us to shape matter with great precision. Finally, this technology can help mankind in many ways and in many scientific areas, including medicine, ecology, energetics, computer technology, etc. Less
