From RNA Structures to RNA Nanomachines - The Nanobiotechnology - page 123

5.5 Conclusions and Perspectives
In. this. chapter,. we. have. briely. explained. the. uniqueness,. versatility,. and. potential. of.
RNA.to.be.a.successful.candidate.for.nanotechnology..RNA.as.a.regulatory.molecule.has.
opened. up. possibilities.. The. past. decade. has. seen. RNA. being. actively. used. by. itself. or.
in.conjunction.with.DNA.for.use.as.rotary.machines,.viral.packaging.motors,.etc..Newer.
indings. and. detailed. understanding. about. RNA. functions,. better. synthesis,. especially.
large-scale,.procedures.for.stable.RNAs,.and.better.structure.prediction.and.analysis.tools.
are.a.critical.cog.in.propelling.the.ield.of.RNA.nanotechnology.forward.
