The double-stranded B-form and A-form have long been considered the two most important native forms of DNA, each with its own distinct biological roles and hence the focus of many areas of study, from cellular functions to cancer diagnostics and drug treatment. Due to the heterogeneity and sensitivity of the secondary structure of DNA, there is a need for tools capable of a rapid and reliable quantification of DNA conformation in diverse environments. In this work, the second paper in the series that addresses conformational transitions in DNA thin films utilizing FTIR spectroscopy, we exploit popular chemometric methods: the principal component analysis (PCA), support vector machine (SVM) learning algorithm, and principal component regression (PCR), in order to quantify and categorize DNA conformation in thin films of different hydrated states. By complementing FTIR technique with multivariate statistical methods, we demonstrate the ability of our sample preparation and automated spectral analysis protocol to rapidly and efficiently determine conformation in DNA thin films based on the vibrational signatures in the 1800–935 cm−1 range. Furthermore, we assess the impact of small hydration-related changes in FTIR spectra on automated DNA conformation detection and how to avoid discrepancies by careful sampling.

H2s Detection

Abstract. Copper oxides, such as CuO and Cu2O, are promising materials for H2S detection because of the reversible reaction with H2S to copper sulfides (CuS, Cu2S). Along with the phase change, the electrical conductance increases by several orders of magnitude. On CuOx films the H2S reaction causes the formation of statistically distributed CuxS islands. Continuous exposition to H2S leads to island growth and eventually to the formation of an electrical highly conductive path traversing the entire system: the so-called percolation path. The associated CuOx ∕ CuxS conversion ratio is referred to as the percolation threshold. This pronounced threshold causes a gas concentration dependent switch-like behaviour of the film conductance. However, to utilize this effect for the preparation of CuO-based H2S sensors, a profound understanding of the operational and morphological parameters influencing the CuS path evolution is needed.Thus, this article is focused on basic features of H2S detection by copper oxide films and the influence of structural parameters on the percolation threshold and switching behaviour. In particular, two important factors, namely the stoichiometry of copper oxides (CuO, Cu2O and Cu4O3) and surface morphology, are investigated in detail. CuOx thin films were synthesized by a radio frequency magnetron sputtering process which allows modification of these parameters. It could be shown that, for instance, the impact on the switching behaviour is dominated by morphology rather than stoichiometry of copper oxide.
