在良好溶剂条件下将polymer链包埋在光阱中

Entrapping a polymer chain in a light well under a good solvent condition

摘要:

在过去的十年中,激光捕获技术已被积极地应用于阐明大分子,DNA,RNA,细胞骨架纤维等的性质。由于在约300 K下直接捕获单个分子的固有困难,目前大多数关于激光捕获的研究利用实验技术来抓住附着在单个大分子上的微珠,而不是使用直接捕获。一些研究已经证明了在没有任何珠粒的“差”溶剂条件下激光捕获高度堆积的紧凑DNA的适用性。本研究实现了在没有任何微珠的“良好”溶剂条件下对单个DNA分子的激光捕获。伴随着ON/OFF激光照射的构象的时间依赖性的变化进行了测量和分析方面的截留和释放的卷曲聚合物周围的微米级的潜力。

英文摘要:

During the last decade, the laser trapping technique has been actively applied to elucidate the property of macromolecules, DNA, RNA, cytoskeleton fibres, etc. Due to the inherent difficulty in the direct trapping of single molecules at approximately 300 K, most of the current studies on laser trapping utilize the experimental technique to grasp microbeads that are attached to a single macromolecule, instead of using direct trapping. A few studies have demonstrated the applicability of laser trapping for highly packed compact DNA under a `poor' solvent condition without any beads. The present study achieves laser trapping on a single DNA molecule under a `good' solvent condition without any microbeads. The time-dependent change of the conformation accompanied by ON/OFF laser irradiation was measured and analysed in terms of the entrapment and release of a coiled polymer around a micrometer-sized potential.
