Popis: | The charge density of DNA is a key parameter in strand hybridization and for the interactions occurring between DNA and molecules in biological systems. Due to the intricate structure of DNA, visualization of the surface charge density of DNA nanostructures under physiological conditions was not previously possible. Here, we perform a simultaneous analysis of the topography and surface charge density of DNA nanostructures using atomic force microscopy and scanning ion conductance microscopy. The effect of in situ ion exchange using various alkali metal ions is tested with respect to the adsorption of DNA origami onto mica, and a quantitative study of surface charge density reveals ion exchange phenomena in mica as a key parameter in DNA adsorption. This is important for structure‐function studies of DNA nanostructures. The research provides an efficient approach to study surface charge density of DNA origami nanostructures and other biological molecules at a single molecule level. DNA charge density: The charge density of DNA is a determining factor in strand hybridization and interactions with other molecules in biological systems. Here, the visualization of surface charge density of DNA origami nanostructures is presented under biological relevant conditions using scanning ion conductance microscopy. The findings can be used in the study of surface charge density of DNA origami nanostructure conjugates at the single molecule level. |
