DNA nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful tool to precisely design and control molecular circuits, machines and nanostructures. A major goal in this field is to build devices with life-like properties, such as directional motion, transport, communication and adaptation. Here we provide an overview of the nascent field of dissipative DNA nanotechnology, which aims at developing life-like systems by combining programmable nucleic-acid reactions with energy-dissipating processes. We first delineate the notions, terminology and characteristic features of dissipative DNA-based systems and then we survey DNA-based circuits, devices and materials whose functions are controlled by chemical fuels. We emphasize how energy consumption enables these systems to perform work and cyclical tasks, in contrast with DNA devices that operate without dissipative processes. The ability to take advantage of chemical fuel molecules brings dissipative DNA systems closer to the active molecular devices that exist in nature.

耗散DNA纳米技术

DNA 纳米技术已成为精确设计和控制分子电路、机器和纳米结构的强大工具。该领域的一个主要目标是构建具有栩栩如生特性的设备,例如定向运动、传输、通信和适应。在这里,我们概述了耗散 DNA 纳米技术的新兴领域,该技术旨在通过将可编程核酸反应与能量耗散过程相结合来开发类似生命的系统。我们首先描述了耗散性 DNA 系统的概念、术语和特征,然后我们调查了功能受化学燃料控制的基于 DNA 的电路、设备和材料。我们强调能源消耗如何使这些系统能够执行工作和周期性任务,与在没有耗散过程的情况下运行的 DNA 设备相比。利用化学燃料分子的能力使耗散 DNA 系统更接近自然界中存在的活性分子装置。
