Molecular-Patterns by Manipulating DNA-Molecules
Manipulating DNA molecules to form molecular patterns on a nanometer scale is a subject with wide prospects. By applying a modified "molecular combing" technique and imaging in air with atomic force microscope, we aligned DNA molecules on a mica surface which was chemically modified with a small organic molecule, (3-aminopropyl)-triethanoxysilane. Two-dimensional patterns of DNA molecules were also constructed.
