Characterization of the diffusive properties of biofilms using pulsed field gradient-nuclear magnetic resonance

abstract：:A biodevice involving thiolated ssDNA and engineered cytochrome b5 linked through a cis-platine bridge is described. This original nanostructure is associated to a supported membrane through a floating anchor, thus constituting a dynamic bidimensionnal DNA capture device contrasting with the constrained geometry of cu...
