Charge transport in DNA-based devices (2004, methodology): “In a further experiment published in 2000 by Porath et al. [ 14 ], electrical transport was measured through 10.4-nm-long (30 base-pairs) homogeneous poly(dG)-poly(dC) molecules that were electrostatically trapped [72, 73] between two Pt electrodes (see Fig. 3). The measurements were performed at te”
Architectures for molecular electronic computers. I. Logic structures and an adder designed from molecular electronic diodes (2000, background): “They found that a DNA molecule can transport charge at high bias voltages, but that it shows negligible conductance at low bias voltages up to a few volts [90].”
Dependence of single-molecule junction conductance on molecular conformation (2006, background): “further to 52° in 4,4'-diaminooctafluorobiphenyl (6), the conductance value also drops further, to 4.”
Silicon Nanotweezers With Subnanometer Resolution for the Micromanipulation of Biomolecules (2008, background): “In fact, electrical measurements with nanopatterned electrodes are more appropriate in that case [15], [16].”
Direct observation of hole transfer through DNA by hopping between adenine bases and by tunnelling (2001, background): “and its suitability as a potential building block for molecular device”
Colloquium: The quest for high-conductance DNA (2004, methodology): “In the experiment by Porath et al. (2000), a single short (30 base pairs) DNA molecule, or at most a few, with a homogeneous sequence [poly(G)-poly(C)], free-hanging between two Pt electrodes, was measured and imaged with a scanning electron microscope.”
