Outline Activities
Self-assembling molecular wires are attracted much attention in future nanochemistry, as exemplified by electron conductive media of molecular-scale electronic devices. By incorporating biomolecules as indispensable components of molecular wires, it is possible to create self-assembling molecular wires that are responsible to the specific bio-signals, such as ATP, peptides, and vitamins. We have succeeded in construction of well-developed molecular wires formed from nucleotides and cationic cyanine dyes. The complexed molecular wires were developed based on the specific recognition between nucleic acid bases and cyanine dyes. Development of a molecule recognition system based on mesoscopic scale supramolecular organization is currently under investigation.
