ABMS can be applied to model a system that can simulate the structural behavior of DNA. The system we intend to model needs to be powerful enough to simulate the well-known laboratory experiments on DNA by Adelman. This system should also be able to simulate the properties of emerging nanodevices. The system must demonstrate the basic structural behavior of DNA such as synthesis of double stranded DNA, formation of branched structures and separation of double stranded DNA. The system aimed to design must be able to be extended to be used to model the DNA self-assembly required in the process of fabrication of nanocircuits. Here we describe our work on developing basic building blocks for the system that can implement complex DNA models such as Adelman’s experiment and the experiments we conducted to validate our work. The experiments were chosen to cover the basic behavioral aspects of DNA such as synthesis of double stranded DNA, time taken for synthesizing DNA and separation of double stranded DNA. 2011 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1318608371 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1318608371 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
