Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging is a surface-sensitive spectroscopic technique for measuring interactions between unlabeled biological molecules with arrays of surface-bound species. In this paper, SPR used to quantitatively detect the hybridization adsorption short (18-base) DNA oligonucleotides at low concentration, as well as, first time, RNA and larger 16S ribosomal (rRNA) isolated from microbe Escherichia coli onto array. For both oligonucleotides, detection limit 10 nM...

We consider the problem of designing DNA codes, namely sets equi-length words over alphabet [A, C, G, T] that satisfy certain combinatorial constraints. This is motivated by task reliably storing and retrieving information in synthetic strands for use computing or as molecular bar codes chemical libraries.
