摘要: λ-DNA as well plasmids can be successfully deposited by molecular combing on hydrophobic surfaces, for pH values ranging from 4 to 10. On polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates, the DNA molecules are overstretched about 60–100%. There is a significant influence of sodium ions (NaCl) surface density DNA, with maximum near 100 mM NaCl solution (28 ng µl − 1) at 8. The process described micromechanical model including: (i) the adsorption free moving coiled substrate; (ii) the stretching preceding meniscus; (iii) the relaxation final length. sticky ends cause an adhesion force in range 400 pN which allows stable overstretching meniscus. exposing hidden bonds leads deposition substrate. pH-dependent observed explained their screening negatively charged backbone and ends, respectively. length derived balance stored elastic energy adhesion.
