Theoretical Analysis for Bending of Single-Stranded DNA Adsorption on Microcantilever Sensors
An energy-based model is presented to establish the bending deformation of microcantilever beams induced by single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) adsorption. The total free energy of the DNA-microcantilever sensor was obtained by considering the excluded-volume energy and the polymer stretching energy of DNA...
