Hybrid Nucleic Acid Assembly
Hybrid Nucleic Acid Assembly
Overview
This is a detection device containing
a hybrid nucleic acid assembly. The device contains a nucleic acid
polymer, a first complimentary oligonucleotide annealed to a first consensus
sequence on the nucleic acid polymer, a second complimentary oligonucleotide
annealed to a second consensus sequence on the nucleic polymer, a first
nanoparticle conjugated with the first complementary oligonucleotide
, a second nanoparticle conjugated with the second complementary oligonucleotide
, means for introducing energy into the first nanoparticle, means for
withdrawing energy from the second nanoparticle, means for detecting
the withdrawal of energy from the second nanoparticle, and means for
determining a physical property of the nucleic acid polymer while energy
is introduced into the first nanoparticle.
