ssDNA
Nanografting |
Research Goal:
1. To develop a methodology to immobilize ssDNA onto solid surfaces in
order to miniaturize DNA microarray into DNA nanoarray.
2. To provide a molecular level precision fabrication method to spatially
confine ssDNA onto surfaces in order to construct DNA based molecule devices
and biomolecular computation.

(A). Imaging a SAM under low force
in a solution containing thiolated ssDNA
(B). Under higher force, matrix Molecules are removed by AFM Tip, thiolated
ssDNA self assemble onto gold surface.
(C). Characterizing the fabricated nano pattern using the same tip under
low force. |
