- Abstract
- The specific sequence in a linearlized double-stranded DNA target has been identified at a single-molecular level by atomic force microscopy (AFM). This was accomplished using RecA-coated, single-stranded DNA probes which were paired with a specific complementary DNA sequence in a linear double-stranded DNA target by strand-exchange reaction at a homologous sequence site with target DNA. The sites of interaction between the nucleoprotein filaments and the double-stranded DNA targets were directly visualized by AFM in solution containing 4 mM magnesium acetate. Measurements of the position of RecA-coated probes paired to individual target DNA showed that DNA probes specifically paired at their corresponding homologous target sequences. Strand exchange promoted by RecA and the visualization by AFM provided a rapid and efficient way to identify homologous sequence on a single-molecule target DNA.
