Automated Image Processing and Analysis Tools for DNA Origami Nanostructure Characterization by Atomic Force Microscopy

Chiriboga M., Díaz S.A., Medintz I.L., United States Naval Research Laboratory, US

The DNA origami technique is highly utilized in the DNA nanotechnolgy field for its ability to self-assemble geometric architectures with near atomic precision. The structural fidelity will vary depending on the assembly reaction conditions. Therefore, [...]

Effective Multistep Exciton Delivery Through DNA-based Photonic Wires

Spillmann C.M., Buckhout-White S., Ancona M.G., Cunningham P.D., Melinger J.S., Goldman E.R., Medintz I.L., Naval Research Laboratory, US

Energy manipulation at the nanoscale is a key requirement to develop next-generation nanotechnologies ranging from biosensing to light harvesting, yet the design rules of these nanoscale systems must first be optimized to accomplish their intended [...]

Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer in Bioconjugated Quantum Dot-Dye systems

Khachatrian A., Melinger J.S., Jennings T.L., Susumu K., Huston A.L., Medintz I.L., Naval Research Laboratory, US

In this work we address the description of Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) in a complex multivalent quantum dot (QD)/dye system by understanding how inhomogeneity affects the FRET dynamics of the acceptor dye molecules. Most [...]
