Detection of DNA hybridization with surface plasmon resonance biosensor: comparison of immobilization of oligonucleotides by ssDNA and dsDNA

Abstract

In this research, a surface-plasmon resonance biosensor for nucleic acid detection was constructed, optimized and characterized. The kinetic response on hybridization was also studied. The biosensor was use as a platform for the study of the surface coverage control by single-strand or double-strand oligonucleotide immobilization. The dsDNA immobilization and offers a new way to surface coverage control for the nucleic acid biosensor construction.
