| Abstract | CdS nanoparticles linked through a duplex DNA to a Au electrode do not lead to a noticeable photocurrent upon their illumination in the presence of triethanolamine, TEOA, 20 mM, pH = 7.2. The intercalation of doxorubicin into the duplex DNA stimulates, however, the generation of a photocurrent. This is attributed to the trapping of photoexcited conduction-band electrons by the intercalator units that facilitates, by a hopping mechanism, the electron transport to the electrode. The oxidation of TEOA by valence band holes allows the formation of a steady state photocurrent. This basic phenomenon is used to probe the operation of a DNA-based machine through the assembly of CdS nanoparticles on a Au electrode. The machine includes a nucleic acid “track”, (1), that binds a primer, (2), through hybridization to a predefined domain. In the presence of polymerase, the nucleotide mixture, dNTPs, and the nicking enzyme, the autonomous replication, nicking and displacement of the “waste product”, (3), are activated. The “waste product” bridges the (4)-functionalized CdS nanoparticles and the nucleic acid (5)-functionalized Au electrode, resulting in the assembly of the nanoparticles on the electrode. The intercalation of doxorubicin into the DNA–CdS nanostructures results in the generation of photocurrents upon illumination in the presence of TEOA, pH = 7.2. The photocurrents are controlled by the time intervals used to operate the DNA machine. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
