Twisting and extension: Application of magnetic tweezers to DNA studies
Magnetic tweezers have emerged as a vital force spectroscopy tool for characterizing the mechanical properties of nucleic acids and their interactions with proteins. Harnessing the principles of magnetic theory, magnetic tweezers allow for the precise manipulation of biological compounds at the sing...
