*Recent years, the technology of DNA origami is attracting keen interest for the synthesis of various nanostructures.    If we integrate movable structures in a DNA origami, various applications such as molecular detection devices, molecular motor devices, and drug delivery systems are expected. However, only a few examples of such a movable system have been reported so far. Other problem is that the synthesis of DNA origami in larger amount is not so easy. Hence, it is unrealistic to make the  macroscopic-scale device which output or input macroscopic signalｓ such as a mechanical one, only by using DNA origamis. Therefore, in this study, we tried to fabricate the device in which an inorganic porous substrate is combined with DNA origami. We synthesize the DNA-origami-based “DNA weathercock” which has a shaft, a blade, and a fluorescence molecule. We then attach the weathercock onto an inorganic porous substrate (anodizing alumina) with regularly arranged perpendicular pores, so that the weathercock can freely rotate. We incorporate fluorescence quencher molecules on to a part of the substrate, so that the device emits fluorescence only when the liquid on the substrate flows along a specific direction.

*Recently, DNA origami are attracting attentions. DNA-origami is the programmable nanostructure which is synthesized by weaving a very long single strand DNA with a large number of short single strand DNAs, just like the weft of the textile. While the technique originally allowed us to form flat nanostructures, we can recently fabricate complicated three-dimensional nanostructures with bent parts like a bird cage.

Abstract

  • Recent years, the technology of DNA origami is attracting keen interest for the synthesis of various nanostructures.　However, there are only few example of DNA origami with a rotating part, although the rotational motion is important in natural and industrial machineries such as flagellum movement of Eugelena, turbines, and motors. Another problem is that the creation of a macroscopic-scale device only with DNA origami, which works with the macroscopic output or input signals, is difficult because the synthesis of DNA-origami in large amount is too expensive. Here, we present a simple rotating nano-device, DNA-weathercock, which detects the flow of surrounding water, by combining inorganic nanoporous substrate material with nanoscale weathercock made of DNA origami. The DNA weathercock consist of a blade and shaft parts are attached with a fluorescence molecule. We mount the DNA weathercock by sticking the shaft part into the nanopore of the size-tunable anodizing alumina, so that the DNA weathercock can freely rotate. When we give a flow, the DNA weathercock turns to the direction of the flow. We observe the behavior of the fluorescence molecule attached to the weathercock head with a confocal laser microscope or even with our naked-eyes through a polarizers.
