- This paper provides critical new insight into the structure, function and kinetics of surface immobilised, dynamic DNA machines. This understanding underpins a range of emerging technologies that use DNA immobilised on semiconductor devices and that have been developed for applications ranging from medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring to data storage and information processing. Through collaboration with the Vanuatu Department of Water Resources (Contact: Vanuatu Government Official), supported by EPSRC funding (£1.2 million, EP/P027571/1), we are exploiting the knowledge detailed in this paper to develop molecular sensor technology for water quality monitoring in low- and middle-income countries.
