On the possibility of electronic DNA nanobiochips    [PDF]

V. D. Lakhno, V. B. Sultanov
We have considered as a theoretical possibility for the development of a nanobiochip the operation principle of which is based on measuring conductance in single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. Calculations have demonstrated that in the majority of cases the conductance of double-stranded nucleotides considerably exceeds that of single-stranded ones. The results obtained are in agreement with recent experiments on measuring the oligonucleotide conductance. It has been shown that an electronic biochip containing 11 nucleotide pairs will recognize approximately 97% sequences. It has also been demonstrated that the percentage of identifiable sequences will grow with the sequence length.
