Abstract:
A method of determining a presence of interaction between a substance molecule and a stretched substrate molecule, the method comprising the steps of: providing the stretched substrate molecule, such that a first contact point of the stretched substrate molecule and a second contact point of the stretched substrate molecule are separated at a displacement; contacting the stretched substrate molecule with a solution, wherein the solution comprises the substance molecule or is suspected to comprise the substance molecule; and detecting a change in the displacement between the first contact point and the second contact point of the stretched substrate molecule, wherein the change in the displacement between the first contact point and the second contact point indicates the presence of interaction between the substance molecule and the stretched substrate molecule.
