QCM-Based Measurement of Bond Rupture Forces in DNA Double Helices for Complementarity Sensing

Abstract: After fixing the DNA molecule in the form of a double helix on the surface of a thickness shear mode resonator (QCM), mechanical oscillations at increasing amplitude cause detorsion of the helix. The force necessary for detorsion can be determined from the voltage applied to the QCM at the rupture moment. The high sensitivity of this method is due to the fact that measurements are carried out in the frequency region around the QCM resonance, where any (even very weak) distortions of the consistent oscillating … Show more

“…Harmonic voltage U 0 is smoothly increased from 0 to 7 V; the maximal voltage (7 V) was chosen on the basis of the results of previous experiments. 19 Only helix unwinding occurs within this voltage range. The time of voltage scanning was varied from 1 to 300 s.…”

“…Another promising principle for creating a micromechanical sensor is an approach that makes it possible to determine the bond braking strength due without external electromagnetic action on the object, and therefore it is of great value for studying the biological objects, such as nucleic acids [89,90]. The technique is based on the use of quartz crystal unit as a sensor that also plays an active role with respect to the particle fastened off on the surface thereof.…”
