Abstract
Herein, we showed a different approach to directly single-molecule level visualization of the degradation of DNA in vitro tests using DNase I incubation based on high-resolution AFM imaging ex situ with fine relocation nanotechnology. A method of nanomanipulation termed as "modified dynamic molecular combing" (MDMC) was used to pattern DNA samples for further degradation enzymatic kinetics. This strategy is potentially able to quantitatively address the mechanical-induced kinetic profiles of multi-site degradation of individual DNA molecules with very stable tension strong immobilization on a surface discover the mechanochemistry.
