We report a simple method for extending DNA on atomically flat conductive graphite and gold surfaces employing molecular combing and using either coordinating ions on graphite or self-assembled ...

During the first step of converting genetic information into functional proteins, cells transcribe the double-stranded helix ...

Among the key goals of structural DNA nanotechnology are to build highly ordered structures self-assembled from individual DNA motifs in 1D, 2D, and finally 3D. All three of these goals have been ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA ...

Silicon nanowire optical rectangular waveguide (SNORW)-based biosensor is proposed for the first time to detect deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hybridization. It works on the principle of detecting the ...

Staple strands (640 nM each in water, Integrated DNA Technolgies, Iowa) and the scaffold strand (single-stranded p8064, 100 nM from Tilibit Nanosystems, Germany) were mixed together to target ...
