DNA Translocation through a Nanopore

Qamar S., Ashcroft B., Spadola Q., Williams P., Zhang P., Lindsay S., Arizona State University, US

We are developing a technique to sequence the DNA with atomic force microsope. A single strand DNA is threaded to cyclodexrn ring and different forces are abserved as purine and oyrimidin pass through the ring. [...]

Assembly of DNA Rotaxanes for AFM Based DNA Sequencing

Spadola Q., Qamar S., Lin L., Lindsay S.M., Ashcroft B., Zhang P., Lindsay S.M., The Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, US

The desire to sequence DNA is fueled by the knowledge that the information locked inside of genomes can help fields as varied as molecular medicine, bioarcheology, forensics, and environmental science. The challenge is to establish [...]
