  • To enable real-time detection and monitoring of molecular interactions and conformational changes on individual molecules.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing lithographically defined nanowells for precise chemical reactions.
  • Employing carbon nanotube transistors as sensors to detect conductance changes.
  • Performing sequential bioconjugation reactions to tether DNA and study its folding.

Main Results:

  • Achieved single-point covalent chemistry on hundreds of individual carbon nanotube transistors.
  • Demonstrated real-time detection of single-molecule functionalization and reactions.
  • Observed reversible G-quadruplex folding of DNA and its differential stability in K(+) vs. Na(+).

Conclusions:

  • Nanowell-confined chemistry on carbon nanotube devices provides a versatile platform for isolating and monitoring individual molecules.
  • This approach offers unprecedented spatial resolution and robust statistics for studying molecular behavior.
  • Enables long-term monitoring of molecules undergoing successive chemical reactions and conformational changes.
