Single-molecule detection of DNA hybridization.
We demonstrate the detection of nanometer-scale conformational changes of single DNA oligomers through a micromechanical technique. The quantity monitored is the displacement of a micrometer-size bead tethered to a surface by the probe molecule undergoing the conformational change. This technique allows probing of conformational changes within distances beyond the range of fluorescence resonanc...
متن کاملDNA computing using single-molecule hybridization detection.
DNA computing aims at using nucleic acids for computing. Since micromolar DNA solutions can act as billions of parallel nanoprocessors, DNA computers can in theory solve optimization problems that require vast search spaces. However, the actual parallelism currently being achieved is at least a hundred million-fold lower than the number of DNA molecules used. This is due to the quantity of DNA ...
متن کاملLabel-free single-molecule detection of DNA-hybridization kinetics with a carbon nanotube field-effect transistor.
Single-molecule measurements of biomolecules can provide information about the molecular interactions and kinetics that are hidden in ensemble measurements. However, there is a requirement for techniques with improved sensitivity and time resolution for use in exploring biomolecular systems with fast dynamics. Here, we report the detection of DNA hybridization at the single-molecule level using...
متن کاملDirect electrical single-molecule detection of DNA through electron transfer induced by hybridization.
Single-stranded DNA was utilized as a probe tip for single-molecule DNA detection. Hybridization of the DNA tip and target DNA induces electron tunneling through the resulting DNA duplex. It is demonstrated that the DNA tip allows not only genetic detection but also discovery of single-nucleotide polymorphisms at the single-molecule level.
متن کاملSingle molecule detection of direct, homologous, DNA/DNA pairing.
Using a parallel single molecule magnetic tweezers assay we demonstrate homologous pairing of two double-stranded (ds) DNA molecules in the absence of proteins, divalent metal ions, crowding agents, or free DNA ends. Pairing is accurate and rapid under physiological conditions of temperature and monovalent salt, even at DNA molecule concentrations orders of magnitude below those found in vivo, ...
