title: Quantitative detection of a DNA ligase reaction on a quartz-crystal microbalance.
abstract: We report here kinetic analyses of DNA ligation by using a DNA-immobilized quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM), which enables in situ real-time monitoring of both the binding of ligase and ligation reaction on DNA strands, as mass changes.
