This article examines the use of novel silanes to immobilize nucleic adds for biosensor research.

The revolutionary developments that have transpired in medicine and biology in recent times are contributing enormously to the overall understanding of the molecular basis of life. Such comprehension is crucial with respect to intervention in order to prevent and treat diseases whether caused by pathogen introduction or by genetic deficiencies. Incredible levels of genetic infor...
