Integrated
cyclic voltammetry measurement of a representative multiplexed
chip over time irradiated. (Top) Representation of the multiplexed
chip and the different duplex DNA monolayers and experimental conditions
that were tested. (Bottom) Plot of the area under the reductive peak,
which gives the total amount of charge transferred to the flavin,
over time irradiated. The color of traces corresponds to the quadrants
shown in the representation above. In each case, 50 μM photolyase
was added and irradiated with blue light at t = 0
anaerobically in Tris buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA,
10% glycerol, pH 7.5). In the green quadrant, the 29 bp dsDNA contained
no thymine dimer. In the red quadrant, the 29 bp dsDNA contained a
thymine dimer and a C:A mismatch between the dimer and the electrode
surface. In the black quadrant, the 29 bp dsDNA contained a thymine
dimer. In the blue quadrant, the same 29 bp dsDNA containing a thymine
dimer was used as was tested in the black quadrant, but the entire
experiment was conducted with a 560 G magnetic field pointing perpendicularly
up intersecting the plane of the electrode. Standard error was plotted
with n = 4.
