DNA design
- Method
・ポリビーズと白金を結合させるDNAを5本設計した We designed five DNA strands. ・2本はポリスチレンビーズに結合させるためにamino groupがついているDNAとその相補鎖と確認用のFAMがついたDNA Three DNA strands relate to “amino modified DNA and polystyrene conjugation”. One DNA strand is modified amino group to conjugate polystyrene-beads. The other one is a complementary strand, which is modified thiol group to conjugate platinum. Another DNA strand also is a complementary strand, which is modified FAM. ・2本はアゾベンゼンを組み込んだDNAとその相補鎖 Two DNA strands relate “SAM”. One DNA strand includes azobenzene to photo-control. Another DNA is a complementary strand, which is modified thiol group to conjugate gold. ・これらのDNAは論文*2を参考にNUPACK*1でシミュレーションし設計した We designed these DNA strands using NUPACK*1. And we referred to a part of a paper*2 and selected orthonormal sequence.
25.0℃ Na+濃度0.195M(1×SSCの濃度) の条件下で2次構造を形成しないDNAを選出した When we designed DNA strands, we fixed the temperature at 25.0℃ and the Na+ concentration at 0.195M. And we selected ssDNA strands, which didn’t form secondary structure.

- We designed five DNA strands.
Three DNA strands relate to “amino modified DNA and polystyrene conjugation”. One DNA strand is modified amino group to conjugate polystyrene-beads. The other one is a complementary strand, which is modified thiol group to conjugate platinum. Another DNA strand also is a complementary strand, which is modified FAM. Two DNA strands relate “SAM”. One DNA strand includes azobenzene to photo-control. Another DNA is a complementary strand, which is modified thiol group to conjugate gold. We designed these DNA strands using NUPACK*1. And we selected orthonormal sequence, referring to a paper*2. When we designed DNA strands, we fixed the temperature at 25.0℃ and the Na+ concentration at 0.195M.
