Selective detection and transport of fully matched DNA by DNA-loaded microtubule and kinesin motor protein
DNA-loaded microtubules (MTs) moving on a kinesin motor protein-coated substrate can selectively hybridize with a target fully matched DNA over single-base mismatched DNA and transport it. This technique is capable of collecting target biomolecules toward one point site to design new methodology of DNA analysis. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
