Abstract:
The invention provides methods and compositions for detecting a change in a nucleic acid polymerase conformation involving contacting a nucleic acid polymerase non-covalently attached to a single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) with a first nucleotide or first nucleotide analog and a template and detecting the conformationally changed nucleic acid polymerase by measuring a first electrical conductance change in the SWNT between the nucleic acid polymerase and the conformationally changed nucleic acid polymerase. The method is useful for sequencing of polynucleotides.
