Abstract

The attraction between the polycyclic aromatic surface elements of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and the aro- matic nucleotides of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) leads to reversible adsorption (physisorption) between them. With the goal to provide the theoretical support to numerous technologies on the basis of DNA-CNT hybrids, we propose a Hamiltonian formulation for the zipper model that accounts for relevant interactions and allows for the processing of experimental data, which has awaited an available theory for a decade.
