270090 VO Biomolecular Nanotechnology (2012W)

An overview of the latest developments in the areas of molecular
nanotechnology and molecular computation will be presented. Both
disciplines use (bio)molecules to construct well-defined (bio)molecular
nano-structures and artificial (bio)molecular machines on the one hand and
to execute molecular computation on non-silicon based hardware on the one
hand.
Algorithms and their (bio)molecular implementation, DNA computation,
algorithmic self-assembly for the construction of well-defined
(bio)molecular nano-structures, construction and functionality of
artificial molecular machines.
