Next Generation Nanofluidic Devices for Single Molecule Analysis of DNA Repair Dynamics
DNA-protein interactions are at the core of the function of every human cell. Single DNA molecule methods have revolutionized our understanding of such interactions. A vast majority of these methods are based on attaching the DNA, at one or both ends, to a bead or a surface. This gives ultimate control of the positioning of the DNA molecules and forces that can be applied to them but makes it difficult to investigate interactions with DNA ends, especially when more than one single DNA molecule is involved. Such interactions are however of fundamental importance, not the least in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), the most serious damage to our genetic material. In nanoDNArepair…
