Abstract excerpt
Rad51 is the core component of the eukaryotic homologous recombination machinery and assembles into extended nucleoprotein filaments on DNA. To study the dynamic behavior of Rad51 we have developed a single-molecule assay that relies on a combination of hydrodynamic force and microscale diffusion barriers to align individual DNA molecules on the surface of a microfluidic sample chamber that is coated with a lipid...
