Abstract: DNA strands coated with AuNPs were cleaved by restriction enzymes while in solution or on a surface. Enzymatic activity was verified by gel electrophoresis prior to surface analysis. Cleavage results suggest that enzymes can recognize the AuNP-coated strands while on the surfaces, though specificity in digestion has not yet been verified. Development allows for advances in site specific localization of components using biological media.
Keywords: DNA, gold nanoparticles, restriction enzymes, surface, digestion
