Abstract
Reversibly binding silicone cartridges have been developed to form reaction containers in which ‘single molecule chemistry’ can be performed. We use an optical trap to drive 1μm streptavidin-coated beads into a region containing biotinylated DNA until binding of a strand of DNA occurs. A quadrant detector is used in reflective mode to track the lateral position of trapped beads. Relative motion between the bead and the solution causes a viscous drag force which is increased when a single strand of DNA is attached to the bead; DNA-bead attachment is done in minutes with less than a femtomole of DNA. The method allows the study of single molecule digestion.
