Nanomechanics of Nucleic Acid Structures Investigated with AFM Based Force Spectroscopy

<p>Nucleic acids are subjected to many different mechanical loadings inside. These loadings could cause large deformations and conformational changes to these molecules. This is why the mechanical properties of nucleic acids are so important to their functions. Here we use a newly design...
