Abstract

Understanding the transport dynamics of single molecules through 1D and 2D nano-channels is a fundamental prerequisite toward designing high-throughput systems for DNA sequencing. Our efforts are focused on the fabrication of the prerequisite structures using replication technology to produce both nano- and micro-scale channels in polymeric substrates with the size of these channels equal to or less than the persistence length of a dsDNA biopolymer. Molecular dynamics is being used to study the transport of DNA mononucleotides through 1D molecular-scale channels for identification.
