Carbon Nanotubes with DNA Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have covalently coupled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to peptide nucleic acid (PNA, a synthetic DNA analogue [1]), and shown that the resulting macromolecular wires hybridize with complementary DNA. This provides a powerful tool to incorporate SWNTs into a recognition-based, massively parallel device assembly strategy, and permits sequence-specific attachment of SWNTs to biological complexes.
