Abstract:
Tip-enhanced fluorescence of localized DNA replication by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a potential way to observe real-time biological reaction confined in nanometer scale. We successfully coated Bst polymerase on the apex (~100 nm) of an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and performed localized LAMP reaction of hepatitis B virus (HBV). By using this tip-based reaction, the replicated HBV DNA can be directly imaged to be 400~500 nm spots by using two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy.
