Using atomic microscopy imaging, probe DNA sequence self-assemblies developed on Si(100) substrates undergo a conformational transition from an extended stem-loop structure to a double helix; such assemblies readily report on DNA molecular recognition events and should be suitable as a label-free, DNA hybridisation assay platform.
