- Abstract
- The importance of DNA sequencing in the life sciences and personalized medicine is continually increasing. Single-molecule sequencing methods have been developed to analyze DNA directly without the need for amplification. Here, we present a new approach to sequencing single DNA molecules using atomic force microscopy (AFM). In our approach, four surface conjugated nucleotides were examined sequentially with a DNA polymerase immobilized AFM tip. By observing the specific rupture events upon examination of a matching nucleotide, we could determine the template base bound in the polymerase's active site. The subsequent incorporation of the complementary base in solution enabled the next base to be read. Additionally, we observed that the DNA polymerase could incorporate the surface-conjugated dGTP when the applied force was controlled by employing the force-clamp mode.
