0. Construction of Biomolecular Rocket

    <html><body><font size="5">We constructed Biomolecular Rocket with a microbead, catalysts, and designed DNAs.</font></body></html>

    Biomolecular Rocket is composed of a micrometer-sized body and many catalytic engines. The body consists of a microbead with a diameter of 10 μm, and catalytic engines consist of platinum nanoparticles or catalase molecules. The catalytic engines are conjugated to the body using a DNA-based linker in a spatially selective manner.
    We constructed the Biomolecular Rocket through the following four steps.

1. The microbead body was selectively coated by vapor deposition of metals (Au and Cr).
2. We designed DNA sequences for spatially-selective hybridization of catalytic engines.
3. The DNA molecules were conjugated to a designated metal surface of the microbead body.
4. Catalyst engines were attached to the microbead body with selective hybridization of DNAs
     we designed.

>>see more methods

<html><body><td align="center"><img src="http://openwetware.org/images/a/a5/Vapor_deposition.jpg" border=0 width=330 height=110></a></td></body></html>
    Figure 0.1a, b and c are microscope images of 40 μm microbeads. Figure 0.1a shows microbeads before vapor deposition of metals. Figure 0.1b shows microbeads after vapor deposition of Au on the microbeads. Figure 0.1c shows microbeads after additional vapor deposition of Cr on the Au-deposited microbeads. The microbeads had three types of surface areas because the angular alignment of the beads was changed when Cr was deposited on the Au-deposited microbeads.
    Similarly, Figure 0.1e, f and g are microscope images of 10 μm microbeads. Figure 0.1e shows microbeads before vapor deposition of metals. Figure 0.1f shows microbeads after vapor deposition of Au on the microbeads. Figure 0.1g shows microbeads after additional vapor deposition of Cr on the Au-deposited microbeads. The 10 μm microbeads probably had three types of surface areas. From these result, we conclude that selective coating of microbeads for Biomolecular Rocket.

0.2. DNA design

    <html><body><font size="5">We designed DNA strands in order to hybridize stably at constant temperature.</font></body></html>
>>see more methods
    We designed 2 types of DNA duplex that must hybridize stably at constant temperature by NUPACK. We called the longer one as DNA sequence L, and the shorter one as DNA sequence S. We called their complementary strands as DNA sequence L* and DNA sequence S*.

In both Figure 0.2a and 0.2b, Tm is far from Rt. So, we achieved DNA design for hybridizing stably at room temperature.

    For visualizing the results of DNA conjugation to polystyrene surface area, we hybridized FAM complementary DNA and observed them under blue light by microscope.

Figure 0.3.1a anda' shows selective coated beads after conjugated DNA to polystyrene area and hybridize fluorescent cDNA. Figure 0.3.1b and b' shows selective coated beads after conjugated DNA to polystyrene area. Figure 0.3.1c and c' shows selective coated beads after mixing fluorescent DNA. Selective coated beads exhibit fluorescence because fluorescent cDNA was excite by blue light. From these results, we conclude that selective conjugation of DNA to polystyrene surface area.

    Figure 0.3.2a is a images of Au plate that DNA conjugated partially. Figure 0.3.2b is a images after soaking up DNA buffer of Au plate. Figure 0.3.2a is a images after washing away of partially DNA conjugated Au plate. Final concentration of phosphate and NaCl buffer are the same in these spot. But 1, 2 and 3 are added NaCl concentration immediately after 24 hours of incubation, the other hand 4, 5, and 6 are added NaCl as salt aging process. Au plate reveals partially hydrophilic, this is because physical property of Au surface was assimilated to physical property of DNA. From these result, we conclude that selective conjugation of DNA to metal surface area.

    DNA hybridization enable us to attach each materials in that DNA strand transits to take thermodynamically stable forms.

>>see more methods

    To verificate this experiments, we tried to attach Pt particles to Au plate (instead of Au deposited beads) , but there is a few difference between DNA conjugated materials and natural materials. So, We must prove the technology of attaching catalyst. DNA strands are nano-scale, and to conjugate micro-scale beads and platinum engines was difficult.
    We also design DNA strands of DNA sequence L and DNA sequence S that have the first 15 bases from 5' end as a linker (TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT). This DNA was also designed not to make unexpected structures. Probably, this linker part will allow much leeway for attaching the body, in that decrease the effect of steric hindrance.

1. Power supply for the rail-free movement

    <html><body><font size="5">In order to realize rail-free movement, we looked at bubble emission of catalyst reaction.</font></body></html>
    Platinum or catalase catalysts decompose H2O2 and emit H2O and O2 bubbles. Since the driving force created by divergence of bubbles, and rocket proceeds by dissociation of oxygen, rail does not require.
    Power supply for the rail-free movement, we had to check following parts.

1. DNA hybridization is not affected damage and denaturate that comes from H2O2
2. Platinum catalyst can supply efficient energy for rail-free movement
3. Catalase catalyst can supply efficient energy for rail-free movement

1.1. DNA hybridization in solution of H2O2

    <html><body><font size="5">We succeeded in ascertaining the stability of DNA duplex in 1%-5% H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> solution.</font></body></html>
   To visualize the stability of DNA duplex in 1%-5% H2O2 solution, we use PAGE electrophoresis. It shows the difference of molecular weight of nucleic acid that comes from denaturetion or hybridization in the form of bands.
   >>see more Method

    Figure 1.1 is a image of DNA hybridization after immersing in solution of H2O2. Comparing between 4, 5, 6 & 7, these 4 lines appear lower than the white line, and line 4-5 and 6-7 are few differences. If H2O2 affects ssDNA destroy(tear up, denature), line 5 and 7 will appear in the lower position or becomes unclear. Judging from appearances, differences between positive and negative control ware few. Comparing 1, 2, 3 and 8, these lines are completely appear in the same position. Differences between these lines are only concentration of H2O2. So, we conclude that there is no influence of H2O2 for DNA hybridizations however DNA is immersed to H2O2 within 90 minutes. So we proved that there is no effect of H2O2 for dsDNA as well as ssDNA.

    dsDNA bands show in lane 1, 2, 3 & 8. In lane 4, 5, 6 & 7 show ssDNA bands. Lane 1 & 8 are the same, lane 2 & 3 are immersed in H2O2 solution (1% and 5%) for 90 minutes. In lane 5 & 7 show the results of ssDNA in solution of H2O2. In lane 4 & 6 are the control bands of ssDNA.

1.2. Verification of platinum hemisphere behavior in solution of H2O2

<html><body><td align="center" width="150px"><img src="http://openwetware.org/images/8/89/Simple_beads.jpg" border=0 width=240 height=180></a></td></body></html>

    We tried to verify whether platinum hemisphere moves forward in solution of H2O2.
    We provide 1 μm platinum particles, and Cr coating to create platinum hemisphere. Then added 3% H2O2 solution and observed.

>>see Method

1.3. Verification of catalase hemisphere behavior in solution of H2O2

<html><body><td><img src="http://openwetware.org/images/1/1b/Crf.jpg" border=0 width=240 height=180></a></td></body></html>     We also tried to verify whether catalase hemisphere moves in solution of H2O2.

Catalase has Catalytic ability of decomposing H2O2, like platinum.

2. Increasing driving force for the high-speed movement

    Rocket gets much stronger driving force by increasing catalytic surface area.
    In order to realize top speed of molecular robot, we check the following parts.

1. Analyses of the speed of platinum to get data of the relationship between
     bubble conditions and platinum behavior
2. Compare the speed of kinesin, platinum hemisphere and Biomolecular Rocket to
     dictate which is the fastest one.

    Catalytic engine produced sufficient energy to move quickly, but further accelerate the Biomolecular Rocket, we conjugated numerous platinum catalytic engines to a micro-sized rocket body. Emission of bubbles depends on the surface area of catalyst, so if the catalytic surface area is expanded, it is obvious that our rocket will be able to emit more bubbles and speeding up.

    Figure 2.1b disclosed the values of Acceleration, Velocity, Coordinate x, and Coordinate y of platinum movement. Not only that, by observation of these values, we could determine relationships between bubble radius growth and the speed of platinum, so we were able to simulate of movement of our rocket.

2-2.Simulation for speeding-up of Biomolecular Rocket movement

    From our numerical simurations of high-speed.We carried out numerical simulations of the high-speed movement of Biomolecular Rockets.

3. Introduction of a photo-switchable DNA system for the directional control

    Direction of the rail-free movement of our rocket can be controlled, since we introduced a photo-switchable DNA system.
    In order to realize Directional control of our rocket, we conducted the following parts.

1. Introduction of a photo-switchable DNA system for the directional control
2. Research the relationship between the strength of UV light and the time
     of dissociation to determine the valid time
3. Verification of the relationship between the movement of Biomolcular
     Rocket and dissociation of catalyst engines

<html><body><td align="center" width="150px"><img src="http://openwetware.org/images/8/8a/DC.jpg" border=0 width=300 height=230></a></td></body></html>

    Photoresponsive DNA structure is changed by UV light irradiation, then dissociation of double strand DNA will happen. Take advantage of this reaction in region-specific manner, we can control the direction of our rocket.

3.1. Design of photoresponsive DNA

<html><body><td align="center" width="150px"><img src="http://openwetware.org/images/4/45/Photo_design.jpg" border=0 width=210 height=210></a></td></body></html>     We designed photoresponsive DNA strands in order to control the direction of Biomolecular Rocket.

    In this project, we ensured that photoresponsive DNA could hybridize their cDNA at room temperature by Abs. Numerical values of Abs depends on the concentration of material corresponding to the absorption wavelength.
    >>see Method

    We called ssDNA as A:Photoresponsive DNA, and B:Complementary DNA of A.

    Figure 3.1 reveals that Abs of A+B around 260nm was below those of A and B, and also Abs of A+B around 330 nm was less than that of A. This is because the concentration of azobenzene decreased by hybridization of A with B.
    Calculation an average absorbance of A and B Abs around 260 nm, theorical value of A+B was 0.168. Compared to this, measured value of absorbance is 22.6% lower. We thought this difference comes from that DNA formed duplex and interactions between base pairs, so decrease the UV absorbance relative to single strands.
    In this point, we believe that the complementary photo-responsive DNAs can form duplex. So, we concluded that these results mean A and B hybridized successfully.

    We have scceeded in dissociation of photo-switchable DNA by UV-light irradiation.

    Photo-switchable DNA duplex can easily dissociate its duplex by irradiating UV-light. We put this switching system in the rocket in order to control our rocket. To concirm the dissociation of photo-switchable DNA duplex, we checked Abs.

>>see Method
    To investigate the relationship between the strength of UV light and the time of dissociation to determine the valid time, we examine 2 type of UV light.
   Fig.3-2.1 represents spctrum of Abs in condition of UV-light(30 mW/cm2) irradiation. Abs of A+B around 260 nm was increasing gradually from 0 minutes to 5 minutes. This result means dsDNA was completely dissociated after irradiating UV-light for 5 minutes. Moreover, Abs of A+B around 330 nm was decreasing from 0 minutes to 5 minutes. This means trans-formed azobenzene changed its form to cis-formation. Therefore, we achieved photoresponsive DNA which was designed by us would be dissociated by irradiating UV-light for 5 minutes.

   Then, we tested the dissociation of photoresponsive DNA under the condition of different strength of UV-light(180 mW/cm2).
nbsp;   Fig.3-2.2 shows photoresponsive dsDNA was dissociated completely after the irradiation of UV-light for 50 seconds. There are three evidences.
    First, from Fig.b), we could find that dsDNA was dissociated gradually from 0 seconds to 50 seconds because maximum Abs around 260 nm was increasing. Second, Fig.c) shows that trans-formed azobenzene decreased because Abs around 330 nm was decreasing from irradiation for 0 seconds to 50 seconds. Finally, Fig.d) shows cis-formed azobenzene increased. As we did experiences for many times, we noticed that there was maximum wave length around 480 nm. By researching, we reached the fact that Abs around 480 nm shows the existence of cis-formed azobenzene. So, we can say that cis-formed azobenzene increased because Abs around 480 nm was increasing from irradiation for 0 seconds to 50 seconds.
    So, we concluded that photo-seichable DNA system achieved after 50 seconds irradiation of UV-light(180 mW/cm2).
