  • Publication number: 20240139700
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes for suspending stretched nucleic acids over surface features. These processes can be used to prepare stretched nucleic acids that are more active in enzymatic reactions and other reactions than those laid down on a flat surface. These processes can be achieved by using a photoresist layer on top of a substrate, stretch a nucleic acid on top of the surface, and then remove part of the photoresist to form surface features that suspend the stretched nucleic acid. Furthermore, the formation of a hydrogel layer over the stretched nucleic acid and the surface features can transfer the stretched nucleic acid to the hydrogel for further reactions, including enzymatic reactions.
