14. We observe slow decomposition of the uncovered DNA structure on the time scale of weeks, which we attribute to breakage of some bonds in the DNA backbone upon annealing at the temperature chosen here. However, the topography of the graphene covered ds-DNA remains unchanged for at least a month, which we attribute to stabilization of the DNA structure by the graphene. The degradation may be completely avoided with preparations at lower annealing temperatures.
