摘要
(Figure Presented) Through the wire. We have investigated the potential effects of silicon nanowires (SiNW-SiO2) and SiNWs functionalized with carboxylic groups (SiNW-COOH) on restriction endonucleases and Taq DNA polymerase. The results show that these SiNWs can inhibit enzyme activity (lower band in gel). Our findings suggest that this could be due to chemical interactions between the functional groups on SiNWs and the enzymes. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
