DNA is one of the most known, interesting, and important materials in the world. It is not
only a container of hereditary information of lives but also a fascinating nanomaterial
with self-organization ability with base pairing, flexibility of base sequence, ?-electron
band formation, flexibility of intercalation with flat molecules, property control with water
molecules, and so on. DNA as a nanomaterial has the potential to open a new horizon of
applications in the near future.

This book presents basic information about DNA, along with comprehensive theoretical
introduction to DNA. It discusses recent developments in divalent metal ion–inserted
M-DNA complex, which gives rise to the possibility of DNA application to electronic
functionality. Further, the book describes three examples of applications: optical and
electrical materials, electronic devices such as bioTFT memory and color-tunable lightemitting diodes, and biofuel cell application with use of proton conduction in DNA.


Features:
✓ Covers elementary introduction to DNA and reviews old and recent findings of basic physical properties of DNA
✓ Includes recent applications of DNA as a natural resource to optical, electrical, physiological, and medical functions, bioTFT memory, color-tunable light-emitting diodes, and biofuel cells
✓ Presents comprehensive theoretical introduction to quantum physics and chemistry for basic electronic states of DNA
