A method using high resolution atomic force microscopy for imaging DNA has been elaborated. Using super-sharp probes and modified graphite as support for molecule adsorption, DNA molecule images were obtained whose resolution made possible the observation of their fine structure with repeated helical motifs. The method can be used to visualize individual spread molecules of single-stranded DNA.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
