60. Two groups reported on a novel approach to the generation of covalent nucleic acid-protein conjugates with potential impact on the fabrication of protein microarrays: a) N. Nemoto, E. Miyamoto-Sato, Y. Husimi, H. Yanagawa, FEBS Lett. 1997, 414, 405;
61. b) R. W. Roberts, J. W. Szostak, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1997, 94, 12297; the principle is based on the in vitro translation of mRNA, covalently modified with a puromycin group at its 3′-end. The peptidyl-acceptor antibiotic puromycin covalently couples the mRNA with the polypeptide chain grown at the ribosome particle, leading to the specific conjugation of the informative (mRNA) with the functional (polypeptide) moiety.

73. The DNA-directed immobilization can also be applied to inorganic components, such as gold nanoparticles, to fabricate surface-bound supramolecular architecture: a) T. A. Taton, R. C. Mucic, C. A. Mirkin, R. L. Letsinger, J. Am. Chem. Soc 2000, 122, 6305;

76. The use of colloidal gold nanoparticles also allows for the study of chip surface topography [d) R. Möller, A. Csaki, J. M. Köhler, W. Fritzsche, Nucleic Acids Res. 2000, 28, E91],
77. the signal enhancement in the DNA hybridization detection using quartz crystal microbalance [e) F. Patolsky, K. T. Ranjit, A. Lichtenstein, I. Willner, Chem. Commun. 2000, 1025],
78. and surface plasmon resonance [f) L. He, M. D. Musick, S. R. Nicewarner, F. G. Saunas, S. J. Benkovic, M. J. Natan, C. D. Keating, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 9071]. In the last technique, an about 1000-fold improvement in sensitivity was reported, suggesting that the detection limit of surface plasmon resonance might soon reach that of traditional fluorescence-based DNA hybridization detection.
