| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aiming at developing (1) a molecular moving body digitally stepping in one direction in response to an applied electric field and (2) molecular computing elements able to perform logic operation in response to an applied electric field, electric response properties of DNA is examined. (1) Using DNA Origami method, we developed a rotating vehicle with six feet with slight asymmetry and also developed an experimental system capable of single molecule observation under horizontal electric field. (2) An experimental system in which a DNA strand modified with gold nanoparticles is peeled off by applying an electric field is developed, and quantitative evaluation of the dehybridization behavior under electric field was conducted.
