Abstract: | We investigated the molecular recognition between the amphiphile AzoAde, which is composed of azobenzene in the hydrophobic and adenine in the hydrophilic portion of the molecule, and oligonucleotides having a homogeneous base (dA30, dT30, dG30, and dC30) at the air-water interface. On the basis of the complementary base-pairing of DNA in the duplex, orderly arrangement of AzoAde on templated dT30 was examined using pi-A isotherm, UV-vis RAS, FT-IR RAS, and XPS measurements. Although there was little interaction between AzoAde and mismatched oligonucleotides (dA30, dG30, and dC30), AzoAde prepared on a dT30 subphase stoichiometrically assembled and interacted with dT30, subsequently forming a J-form assembly at the air-water interface. AFM observation of the LB films revealed the nanostructure of the J-formed AzoAde monolayer on the dT30 subphase as well as the domain structures of the H-formed monolayers on the other oligonucleotide subphases. Therefore, dT30 has a potential application as a template for assembling AzoAde at the air-water interface. |
