摘要: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can selectively induce human telomeric i-motif DNA formation at pH 7.0. Based on this property, we design a nanomachine induced by SWNTs gold surface. The motor is G-quadruplex DNA. reversible hybridization between the and its complementary be modulated without changing solution pH. Up to now, our knowledge, there no report show that or detect Our work may provide new concept for designing an SWNT-induced detection of structure hybridization, conformational transition have been characterized surface in fluorescence confocal microscopy, circular dichroism, melting gel electrophoresis. folding unfolding kinetics were studied Fourier transform-surface plasmon resonance (FT-SPR). All these results indicate efficiently reversibly. Therefore will insights into application nanodevice under physiological conditions.
