<h2>Brainstorming</h2>
:We wanted to move and control the giant object by using nanometer-sized DNA, so it's necessary that we come up with the model to control the giant object.
:At this chapter, we expressed the process of deciding model of controlling. When we looked for the model, we came up with an idea to move giant object from ciliate. We thought if we immobilized a lot of single strand DNAs around the beads, we could control the giant-beads by using interaction with the complementary strand. But we also needed to think about the method to control the direction of the bead.
:Then, we discussed and enumerated the models as far as we could come up with. Listed models are as follows.
:'''<Control by using--->'''
::Radio wave
::Ultraviolet ray
::Infrared ray
::Azobenzene
:Then, we investigated each listed themes. The result of investigation is following.
:'''<Radio wave>'''
:We found the following thesis:Kimberly Hamad-Schifferl'' et al:'','' Nature'',415(10),152-155(January. 2002). This thesis reports the possibility of controlling the DNA hybridization by using gold atom and radio wave. Then we thought we might control by using this thesis. Our idea was to control the direction of moving beads by irradiating radio wave only one side of beads.
:'''<Ultraviolet ray>'''
:We found the following thesis: Kenzo Fujimoto ''et al:'',''Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters'', 15, 1299-1301(2005). This thesis reports the possibility that we can control photocrosslinking of DNA by using p-carbamoylvinyl phenol nucleoside. We thought if we apply this result, we can control the movement of beads by irradirating ultraviolet ray on one side.
:'''<Infrared ray>'''
:We found the following thesis: Kenji Yasuda'' et el:'',''BioTechinques'', 28(5), 1006-1011 (May. 2000). This reports the realization of focal extraction of DNA by using photo-thermal denaturation. We thought we could apply to move beads using this report.
:For the reason given above, we decided to adopt the proposal of model using three wavelengths.
:In the course of our discussion, an idea came into our mind. This idea was to control the direction by using three different wavelengths; radio wave, ultraviolet ray and infrared rays. This model applies to the three thesises above. (About radio wave and Ultraviolet ray and infrared ray) We call this model “Twister-Model”.
:'''<Azobenzene>'''
:We also paid attention to the research of Asanuma who is the professor of JAIST (Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology). He found the way to control DNA duplex formation and dissociation by making use of azobenzene. We thought his research could apply to make stop arrangement. Stop arrangement is one of the reversible modes of controlling beads. We assumed that if we crossed DNA tracks and DNA added azobenzene, we would make it possible to make reversible switches which had start and goal points.
:However, the single strand DNA added one azobenzene was about 130 dollar. Moreover, as far as we could think, we needed to the DNA added 13 azobenzene. This was too expensive to buy, so we decided to change arraignment and bought DNA added two azobenzene:UV-switching-DNA. The result of changing arraignment, (write benefit) we could not control DNA duplex dissociation, so our model of azobenzene was an irreversible reaction. We used this DNA as the way to gathering.
:'''<Our Model>'''
:The result of our discussion, we decided two models to control beads’ movement. Two models are the control by using three different waves and the control by using azobenzene.
:To achieve these models, we established 6 subjects to solve. Six subjects are the following.
:
*Experimentation which confirms the moving of beads by using the system used DNA spider. (DNA spider comes from a thesis: Kyle Lund ''et al:'',''Nature'',vol465,206-210 (May. 2010).)
*Experimentation which apply the system of DNA walker. (DNA walker comes from a thesis: Hongzhou Gu ''et al:'',''Nature'',vol465, 202-205(May. 2010).) 
*Modeling of twister-model of a two-dimensional twister-model.
*Experimentation of a two-dimensional twister-model which uses the system of DNA walker.
*Experimentation which confirms the movement of DNA tracks when we use the model of three different waves.
*Experimentation of two-dimensional twister-model which uses the model of three different waves.

Brainstorming

We wanted to move and control the giant object by using nanometer-sized DNA, so it's necessary that we come up with the model to control the giant object.
At this chapter, we expressed the process of deciding model of controlling. When we looked for the model, we came up with an idea to move giant object from ciliate. We thought if we immobilized a lot of single strand DNAs around the beads, we could control the giant-beads by using interaction with the complementary strand. But we also needed to think about the method to control the direction of the bead.
Then, we discussed and enumerated the models as far as we could come up with. Listed models are as follows.
<Control by using--->
Radio wave
Ultraviolet ray
Infrared ray
Azobenzene
Then, we investigated each listed themes. The result of investigation is following.
<Radio wave>
We found the following thesis:Kimberly Hamad-Schifferl et al:, Nature,415(10),152-155(January. 2002). This thesis reports the possibility of controlling the DNA hybridization by using gold atom and radio wave. Then we thought we might control by using this thesis. Our idea was to control the direction of moving beads by irradiating radio wave only one side of beads.
<Ultraviolet ray>
We found the following thesis: Kenzo Fujimoto et al:,Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 15, 1299-1301(2005). This thesis reports the possibility that we can control photocrosslinking of DNA by using p-carbamoylvinyl phenol nucleoside. We thought if we apply this result, we can control the movement of beads by irradirating ultraviolet ray on one side.
<Infrared ray>
We found the following thesis: Kenji Yasuda et el:,BioTechinques, 28(5), 1006-1011 (May. 2000). This reports the realization of focal extraction of DNA by using photo-thermal denaturation. We thought we could apply to move beads using this report.
For the reason given above, we decided to adopt the proposal of model using three wavelengths.
In the course of our discussion, an idea came into our mind. This idea was to control the direction by using three different wavelengths; radio wave, ultraviolet ray and infrared rays. This model applies to the three thesises above. (About radio wave and Ultraviolet ray and infrared ray) We call this model “Twister-Model”.
<Azobenzene>
We also paid attention to the research of Asanuma who is the professor of JAIST (Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology). He found the way to control DNA duplex formation and dissociation by making use of azobenzene. We thought his research could apply to make stop arrangement. Stop arrangement is one of the reversible modes of controlling beads. We assumed that if we crossed DNA tracks and DNA added azobenzene, we would make it possible to make reversible switches which had start and goal points.


However, the single strand DNA added one azobenzene was about 130 dollar. Moreover, as far as we could think, we needed to the DNA added 13 azobenzene. This was too expensive to buy, so we decided to change arraignment and bought DNA added two azobenzene:UV-switching-DNA. The result of changing arraignment, (write benefit) we could not control DNA duplex dissociation, so our model of azobenzene was an irreversible reaction. We used this DNA as the way to gathering.
<Our Model>
The result of our discussion, we decided two models to control beads’ movement. Two models are the control by using three different waves and the control by using azobenzene.
To achieve these models, we established 6 subjects to solve. Six subjects are the following.
  • Experimentation which confirms the moving of beads by using the system used DNA spider. (DNA spider comes from a thesis: Kyle Lund et al:,Nature,vol465,206-210 (May. 2010).)
  • Experimentation which apply the system of DNA walker. (DNA walker comes from a thesis: Hongzhou Gu et al:,Nature,vol465, 202-205(May. 2010).)
  • Modeling of twister-model of a two-dimensional twister-model.
  • Experimentation of a two-dimensional twister-model which uses the system of DNA walker.
  • Experimentation which confirms the movement of DNA tracks when we use the model of three different waves.
  • Experimentation of two-dimensional twister-model which uses the model of three different waves.
