Statistical analysis of the profiles of palindromic DNA molecules imaged by atomic force microscopy provided evidence of the capability of a mica surface of recognizing DNA sequences. The differential free energy involved in this collective recognition process was estimated. A tentative model based on sequence-dependent imbalances of the electrostatic field normal to the surface (E) along the chain is proposed.

Abstract
Statistical analysis of the profiles of palindromic DNA molecules imaged by atomic force microscopy provided evidence of the capability of a mica surface of recognizing DNA sequences. The differential free energy involved in this collective recognition process was estimated. A tentative model based on sequence-dependent imbalances of the electrostatic field normal to the surface (E) along the chain is proposed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
