Making "Sense" of DNA
Polarization-resolved vibrational sum frequency generation spectra of glass surfaces functionalized with single-stranded and duplex DNA oligonucleotides are presented. These spectra yield detailed conformational information of surface-bound oligonucleotides, including the chirality of the stereogenic centers and the chirality of the duplex structure.
