Insulating behavior for DNA molecules between nanoelectrodes at the 100 nm length scale
Abstract
Electrical transport measurements are reported for double-stranded DNA molecules located between nanofabricated electrodes. We observe the absence of any electrical conduction through these DNA-based devices, both at the single-molecule level as well as for small bundles of DNA. We obtain a lower bound of 10 TΩ for the resistance of a DNA molecule at length scales larger than 40 nm. It is concluded that DNA is insulating. This conclusion is based on an extensive set of experiments in which we varied key parameters such as the base-pair sequence [mixed sequence and homogeneous poly(dG)⋅poly(dC)], length between contacts (40–500 nm), substrate (SiO2 or mica), electrode material (gold or platinum), and electrostatic doping fields. Discrepancies with other reports in the literature are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
