Numerical study on DNA-carbyne interaction

The term 'nanotechnology' refers to the science of the operation and creation of materials at the atomic or molecular level where the material properties are size-dependent [1]. One of the main advantages that nanotechnology offers is the large surface to volume ratio, which can be taken advantage of in many fields of science and engineering. Moreover, the recent drastic growth in nanotechnology has enabled the fabrication of devices at the single nucleotide scale [2]. These devices are capable of identifying and analyzing the electrical and mechanical properties of single molecules. More importantly, the incorporation of nanotechnology in biological science has led to a new field of research known as bio-nanotechnology which has enabled the revision of the interactions between nanometer scale materials and biomolecules via providing the researchers in this field with the finest possible tools for drastic progress [3]-[5].
