The use of a nanoscale DNA-Au dendrimer as a signal amplifier was proposed for the universal design of functional DNA-based ultra-sensitive SERS biosensors. This novel design combines the high specificity of functional DNA with the high sensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy, resulting in sensitivity superior to that of previously reported sensors.

    Common bean (P. vulgaris) and lima bean (P. lunatus) are the most important crop species from the genus Phaseolus. Both species have the same chromosome number (2n = 22) and previous cytogenetic mapping of BAC clones suggested conserved synteny. Nevertheless, karyotype differences...

    We employed a modular sequence design approach to systematically study the effect of DNA sequence on adsorption polarity. A block of poly-adenine (poly-A) could be used to achieve a high density of DNA attachment. When the poly-A block length is short (e.g. below 5-7), the loading was independent of...
