Enzymatic Clipping of DNA Wires Coated with Magnetic Nanoparticles

Abstract: The study describes how DNA coated with magnetic nanoparticles remains biologically active and accessible to the BamH1 restriction enzyme. Long DNA molecules are coated with magnetic nanoparticles using electrostatic interactions. The coated, stretched, and surface-bound DNA is incubated in the restriction enzyme that specifically recognizes any strand containing the GGATCC base sequence and clips the DNA. We show that, despite the presence of the nanoparticles on the DNA, the enzyme is still able to recognize… Show more

“…Participation of DNA base groups in binding to nanoparticles would lead to denaturation of DNA double strand. However, free reaction of ethidium bromide (intercalation dye) with CoFe 2 O 4 -DNA can be regarded as an evidence of retention of the double strand structure of the polynucleotide component of the composite with nanoparticles [6]. Hence, it is more likely that mainly PO 2 groups of the DNA sugar-phosphate backbone are involved in the formation of the bond.…”

“…EcoRI cuts NP-coated lambda phage DNA into five fragments (3530, 4878, 5804, 7421, and . [50] It is speculated that each fragment of NP chain in solution induces its own local magnetic field. Therefore, the increased number of inhomogeneous local magnetic fields in the solution induced protons to relax faster than in the magnetic fields produced by uncut NP chains.…”

“…Magnetic nanoparticles have been widely used in such fields as catalysis, magnetic resonance image, and controlled drug release because of their special physical property [1][2][3][4]. Magnetic nanoparticles have been synthesized with a number of different compositions, such as Fe 3 O 4 , spinel-type ferromagnets, and alloys.…”
