摘要
DNA molecules [poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC)] were modified with acridine orange (AO). Direct measurement of the electrical characteristics of the AO-DNA network were performed using a conducting atomic-force microscope (AFM) with a gold coated tip, a second gold electrode being electrically contacted to the dye-DNA/mica surface. Enhancement of electrical conductivity was observed while irradiating the sample with visible light. The results indicated that excited AO obtains an electron from the G site and eventually a hole is generated. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
