Investigating the solution structure of G-rich DNA and RNA using AFM

Abstract

I shall be eternally grateful to Prof. Anh Tuan Phan for offering me a PhD position in his lab. I consider myself fortunate to have gotten so much of his attention, guidance, support and dedication; which shall help me become a great scientist. I am especially grateful to Prof. John van Noort (Leiden University) and Dr. Iwan A.T. Schaap (formerly Göttingen University) for their guidance and help with Atomic Force Microscopy. I am incredibly thankful to our collaborators Prof.Neil A. Schneider (Columbia University) and Prof. Jack D. Griffith (UNC Chapel Hill) for their choice to work with us and for sending their lab's precious DNA samples from USA.
