After the Gershenfeld talk at SFI last week, I noodled around
at the Center for Bits and Atoms site and found this
snazzy survey paper on self-assembly of biologically
based nano structures, which I figure folks here might
find interesting.

For those of us non-chemists, here's a nice set of
quick tutorials on various chemistry subjects (not really necessary to get
the drift of the above paper, but reassuring nonetheless.
