Chain stretching in brushes favors sequence recognition for nucleobase-functionalized flexible precise oligomers

Soft Matter, 2024, 20,8303-8311
DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00866A, Paper
Kseniia Grafskaia, Qian Qin, Jie Li, Delphine Magnin, David Dellemme, Mathieu Surin, Karine Glinel, Alain M. Jonas
Flexible oligomers having precise sequences of nucleobases do not specifically recognize surface-grafted target chains at low grafting density. Moderately higher grafting densities promote sequence-specific recognition thanks to chain stretching.
