Nucleobase-functionalized graphene nanoribbons for accurate high-speed DNA sequencing.
We propose a water-immersed nucleobase-functionalized suspended graphene nanoribbon as an intrinsically selective device for nucleotide detection. The proposed sensing method combines Watson-Crick selective base pairing with graphene's capacity for converting anisotropic lattice strain to changes in an electrical current at the nanoscale. Using detailed atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulat...
متن کاملSpin channels in functionalized graphene nanoribbons.
We characterize the transport properties of functionalized graphene nanoribbons using extensive first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) that encompass both monovalent and divalent ligands, hydrogenated defects, and vacancies. We find that the edge metallic states are preserved under a variety of chemical environments, while bulk conducting channels can be easily d...
متن کاملHigh speed DNA sequencing by capillary electrophoresis.
A major challenge of the Human Genome Initiative is the development of a rapid, accurate, and efficient DNA sequencing technology. A major limitation of current technology is the relatively long time required to perform the gel electrophoretic separations of DNA fragments produced in the sequencing reactions. We demonstrate here that it is possible to increase the speed of sequence analysis by ...
متن کاملSelf-Assembled Functionalized Graphene Nanoribbons from Carbon Nanotubes
Graphene nanoribbons (GNR) were generated in ethanol solution by unzipping pyrrolidine-functionalized carbon nanotubes under mild conditions. Evaporation of the solvent resulted in regular few-layer stacks of graphene nanoribbons observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction. The experimental interlayer distance (0.49-0.56 nm) was confirmed by computer modelling (0.51...
متن کاملRedox-switchable devices based on functionalized graphene nanoribbons.
The possibility of tuning the electronic properties of graphene by tailoring the morphology at the nanoscale or by chemical functionalization opens interesting perspectives towards the realization of devices for nanoelectronics. Indeed, the integration of the intrinsic high carrier mobilities of graphene with functionalities that are able to react to external stimuli allows in principle the rea...
