Figures & Tables
Fig. 1. Schematic diagram to control the refractive index of DNA thin solid film by denaturation. Denaturation is activated by adding NaOH in DNA aqueous solution precursors, which is irreversibly immobilized in thin solid film to change the refractive index (ds, double stranded; ss, single stranded).
