Abstract

We have designed a microfluidic detection platform in which we can monitor and analyze single DNA/protein dynamic interaction using “single-molecule fluorescence tracing”. The use of quantum dot (QD) labelling on DNA, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchip, micro patterning of active enzymes, and total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscope was successfully applied for nano-space experiments in micrometer-sized channels. We used this detection platform to observe the enzymatic reaction of restriction endonuclease (EcoRI) and measured the duration of its cleavage reaction.
