| Zusammenfassung: | A promising approach to regulating the interactions between polyelectrolytes and materials is the use of electroactive surfaces that can change their charge state. However, common electroactive groups are too unstable to be practical for this purpose. Here we have performed a single molecule force spectroscopy study of the interactions between dsDNA and an 1,1'-biferrocenylene (BFD = bis(fulvalene)diiron)-terminated self-assembled monolayer surface that allows us to reversibly change the charge state. We found that the interaction force between DNA and the surface is correlated to the oxidation state of the BFD groups, which is conveniently controlled by the electrochemical potentials. We discovered that the electroactive SAM produces much stronger interaction forces than its nonelectroactive counterpart. A model based on the Grahame equation was able to quantitatively reproduce the experimentally observed relation between the applied potentials and adhesion forces. Our electroactive surface provides a model system for quantitative studies of the interactions between polyelectrolyte and charged surfaces in liquid. These insights may enable new opportunities for actively manipulating the binding, orientations, and conformations of polyelectrolytes for biosensing, nanomotors, and other applications |
