Abstract

Hybrids of DNA and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising nanobioconjugates for nanobiosensors,carriers for drug delivery,and other biological applications. In this review,nanoscopic characterization of DNA-CNT hybrids,in particular,characterization by scanning probe microscopy (SPM),is summarized. In many studies,topographical imaging by atomic force microscopy has been performed. However,some researchers have demonstrated advanced SPM operations in order to maximize its unique and valuable functions. Such sophisticated approaches are attractive and will have a significant impact on future studies of DNA-CNT hybrids.
