Rapid and sensitive detection of nucleic acids and proteins is vital for the identification of pathogenic agents. Biomolecules, such as F1-ATPase, have been previously shown to provide a single molecule detection system for DNA using a detection signal that is visible by fluorescence microscopy (US 6,989,235). Prof. Wayne Frasch at Arizona State...

Technologies capable of rapid and sensitive detection of single biomolecules is continuously evolving, and is now beginning to emerge as a very promising new tool for precision detection and identification. Application areas span analytical chemical and biochemical fields, with high potential economic impact in the genomic analysis, drug discovery,...

Computing by representing information in the form of DNA base sequences has several potential advantages over silicon-based computing methods, due to the massive parallelism of the biochemical reactions on DNA molecules. These advantages include, enhanced processing speeds, reduced energy consumption and greater storage capacity. DNA computing...

A major limitation of current methods to detect specific DNA sequences is the need to amplify the target DNA to detectable levels using PCR. The additional instrumentation and reagents required for PCR severely limit the portability of PCR based detection systems, greatly extend the time required for analysis, and potentially introduce significant...
