| Paul Rothemund, scientist at Cal Tech, provides a interesting look at DNA folding and DNA based algorithmic self-assembly. In the talk he shows the promise ahead for using biological building blocks using DNA origami — to create tiny machines that assemble themselves from a set of instructions.
Algorithmic Self-Assembly of DNA Sierpinski Triangles, PLoS paper. I posted a few months ago about how you can participate in the protein folding, with the Protein Folding Game.
