DNA Binding to the Silica : Cooperative Adsorption in Action

The adsorption and desorption of nucleic acid to a solid surface is ubiquitous in various research areas like pharmaceutics, nanotechnology, molecular biology, and molecular electronics. In spite of this widespread importance, it is still not well understood how the negatively charged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) binds to the negatively charged silica surface in an aqueous solution. In this article, we study the adsorption of DNA to the silica surface using both modeling and experiments and shed light on the complicated binding (DNA to silica) process. The binding agent mediated DNA adsorption was elegantly captured by cooperative Langmuir model. Bulk-depletion experiments were performed to conclude the necessity of a positively charged binding agent for efficient DNA binding, which complements the findings from the model. A profound understanding of DNA binding will help to tune various processes for efficient nucleic acid extraction and purification. However, this work goes beyond the DNA binding and can shed light on other binding agent mediated surface-surface, surface-molecule, molecule-molecule interaction.
