Defects Can Increase the Melting Temperature of DNA-Nanoparticle Assemblies
Nolan C. Harris, Ching-Hwa Kiang
DNA-gold nanoparticle assemblies have shown promise as an alternative technology to DNA microarrays for DNA detection and RNA profiling. Understanding the effect of DNA sequences o…
Experimental Free Energy Surface Reconstruction From Single-Molecule Force Spectroscopy Using Jarzynski's Equality
Nolan C. Harris, Yang Song, Ching-Hwa Kiang
We used the atomic force microscope to manipulate and unfold individual molecules of the titin I27 domain and reconstructed its free energy surface using Jarzynski's equality. The…
Disorder in DNA-Linked Gold Nanoparticle Assemblies
Nolan C. Harris, Ching-Hwa Kiang
We report experimental observations on the effect of disorder on the phase behavior of DNA-linked nanoparticle assemblies. Variation in DNA linker lengths results in different melt…
The Reversible Phase Transition of DNA-Linked Colloidal Gold Assemblies
Young Sun, Nolan C. Harris, Ching-Hwa Kiang
We present direct evidence for a reversible phase transition of DNA-linked colloidal gold assemblies. Transmission electron microscopy and optical absorption spectroscopy are used…
DNA-based Artificial Nanostructures: Fabrication, Properties, and Applications
Young Sun, Ching-Hwa Kiang
Table of Content 1. Introduction 2. DNA fundamentals 3. Attachment of DNA to surface 4. Fabrication of nanostructures using DNA 4.1 Nanostructures of pure DNA 4.2 DNA-based assembl…
Melting Transition of Directly-Linked Gold Nanoparticle DNA Assembly
Y. Sun, N. C. Harris, C. -H. Kiang
DNA melting and hybridization is a fundamental biological process as well as a crucial step in many modern biotechnology applications. DNA confined on surfaces exhibits different b…
