1206 Central Dogma for a Molecular DesignBased on DNA: DNB (Databasing/Designa-ble Nanobio) ! ENB (Engineering Nano-bio) ! FNB (Functional Nanobio)

Shu-ichi Nakano and Naoki Sugimoto

Nanobiomaterials have become of broader interest over the past few years. In this review, we demonstrate functionalbiomolecules that we have constructed based on the biophysical data on nucleotides. We propose three concepts for the de-velopment of new nanobiomaterials; DNB (Databasing or Designable Nanobio) is the process of storing the biomolecularproperties, ENB (Engineering Nanobio) is the process of conversion of the biomolecular properties to a molecular design,and FNB (Functional Nanobio) is the process of constructing functional molecules based on DNA technologies. Our approachof DNB ! ENB ! FNB can be the central dogma for a molecular design.

1254 Fabrication and Characterization of ZnSHollow Nanostructures in Micelle System

With a CS2–sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS)–

used to investigate the properties of the as-obtained product.

ethylenediamine micelle system, ZnS hollow vessesls, tubes,

and hollow spheres of nanometer scale have been fabricated

controllably. The outer diameter of the hollow vessels and

tubes is 80–100 nm, whose length is up to several micrometer

and the thickness of the wall is 10–15 nm. The external

diameter of the hollow spheres is 30–50 nm and the thickness

of the shell is about 8–10 nm. The experimental procedure is

very simple and the production rate is very high. UV–vis

spectrum suggested the hollow nanostructures have quantum

In this communication letter, the substitution of silicon by metal ionsshifts the lattice vibration band to a lower wavenumber. Compared to theSi–MCM-41, the wavenumber of the antisymmetric Si–O–Si vibrationband of M–MCM-41 sample probably increases from 1066 to 1096 cm-1

(Figure 1). These shifts should be due to the increase of the mean Si–Olength in the walls caused by the substitution of the silicon (radius 40 pm)by the larger size of substituted metal ions. The observed shifts, which alsodepend on the change in the ionic radii as on the degree of substitution, arecomparatively small. Therefore, only a low degree of substitution issuggested. Interestingly, the wavenumber shifts decrease in the seriesCr- > V- > Mo- > Ti- > Fe- > Sn- > Co- > Mn- > Zr- > Nb- > Ni- > Cu- >Ce–MCM-41, although the ionic radius of the metal ions, from Cr to Ceions is linearly decreased. At the same time, the wavenumber of the anti-symmetric Si–O–M (M-metal ions) vibration bands of M–MCM-41samples increase from 954 to 990 cm .-1

1296 Morphological and Phase Changes in Calci-um Oxalate Crystals Induced by SulfatedPolysaccharide Extracted from Algae Eu-cheuma striatum

The sulfated polysaccharide (SPS) isolated from marine algae can inhibit the formation of

calcium oxalate (CaOxa) urinary stones by inhibiting the growth of CaOxa crystal,

preventing the aggregation of calcium oxalate monohydrate, and induce the formation of

calcium oxalate dihydrate crystals. This result indicated that SPS may be a potential

inhibitor to CaOxa urinary stones.
