Nature Methods (2024 )Cite this article metallic glitter
Graphene energy transfer (GET) can be used to measure the distance between a graphene surface and a fluorescent dye. A new strategy for attaching DNA in a controlled orientation onto graphene now makes it possible to use GET to track the dynamics of DNA and protein–DNA interactions with base-pair resolution.
