Charge-Dependent Regulation in DNA Adsorption on 2D Clay Minerals.

ABSTRACT: DNA purification is essential for the detection of human clinical specimens. A non-destructive, controllable, and low reagent consuming DNA extraction method is described. Negatively charged DNA is absorbed onto a negatively charged montmorillonite to achieve non-destructive DNA extraction based on cation bridge construction and electric double layer formation. Different valence cation modified montmorillonite forms were used to validate the charge-dependent nature of DNA adsorption on montmorillonite. Electric double layer thickness thinning/thickening with the high/lower valence cations exists, and the minerals tended to be sedimentation-stable due to the Van der Waals attraction/electrostatic repulsion. Li-modified montmorillonite with the lowest charge states showed the best DNA adsorp
