Locked nucleic acid oligomers as handles for single molecule manipulation
Single-molecule manipulation (SMM) techniques use applied force, and measured elastic response, to reveal microscopic physical parameters of individual biomolecules and details of biomolecular interactions. A major hurdle in the application of these techniques is the labeling method needed to immobilize biomolecules on solid supports. A simple, minimally-perturbative labeling strategy would sig...
متن کاملSingle-molecule manipulation of nucleic acids.
During the past decade, local force measurement techniques, such as atomic force microscopy and optical tweezers, were used to study the elastic properties and mechanically induced structural transitions of nucleic acids at the single-molecule level. Single-molecule manipulation has also increasingly been used to investigate DNA-dependent enzymatic processes, with implications for unfolding and...
متن کاملDNA Handles for Single Molecule Experiments
We have worked out a procedure for covalent binding of DNA to polystyrene microspheres for optical tweezers experiments in aqueous buffer solutions. These new coupling procedures allow preparation of DNA-microspheres in advance and storage of these beads for months. The covalent coupling of the DNA fragments facilitates the investigation of short DNA fragments (<1000 bp) and the rotationally co...
متن کاملQuantum dots as handles for optical manipulation
Individual colloidal quantum dots can be optically trapped and manipulated by a single infrared laser beam operated at low laser powers. If the absorption spectrum and the emission wavelength of the trapping laser are appropriately chosen, the trapping laser light can act as a source for two-photon excitation of the trapped quantum dot. This eliminates the need for an additional excitation lase...
متن کاملAdvances in Single-molecule Nucleic Acid Sequencing
The ability to quickly and accurately obtain sequence information from single molecules of DNA and RNA has far-reaching implications for our understanding of biology. In the work presented here, we have made several advances in the area of single-molecule DNA and RNA sequencing. Specifically, in attempting to increase the read length of DNA polymerase, we have assayed several custom synthesized...
