Abstract excerpt
We report a rapid gene mutation screening method by making use of the mechanical properties of single-strand DNA (ssDNA) tethered to a solid surface. With proper temperature control, ssDNA in solution undergoes intrabase pairing and forms a specific complex 3D structure. By tethering such ssDNA strands to a solid surface, a DNA film can be formed. The mechanical properties of such DNA films, probed by devices...
