title: Surface-initiated, reversible polymerization from surface-tethered oligonucleotides by enzymatic processes.
abstract: Back and forth: Enzymatic, reversible polymerization on gold surfaces was efficiently carried out from surface-tethered self-priming oligodeoxynucleotides in a sequence-specific fashion by using two kinds of enzymes. Taq DNA polymerase, acting as a catalyst, facilitated DNA polymerization, and DNA restriction enzymes cut DNA polymers from the surface.
